Script syntax...does this work?

Hi all, I'm just a basic unix scripto...does the following lines work??

I saw this lines from a script I was about to modify, please take note that these are not the original directories and the sign ( " ) is in there.

"/destination/directory" "/origin/directory"

If I add a command line in the "destination/directory" will it work even if it has the double quotes sign?

"/destination/directory/`date +%m%d%y`" "/origin/directory"

Please take note that the "/destination/directory" is the current server I'm at, while the "/origin/directory" is a remote server from someplace else and we use FTP for transfer.

Thanks thanks. Smilie

GIT-MV(1)							    Git Manual								 GIT-MV(1)

NAME
git-mv - Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink SYNOPSIS
git mv <options>... <args>... DESCRIPTION
This script is used to move or rename a file, directory or symlink. git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> <destination> git mv [-v] [-f] [-n] [-k] <source> ... <destination directory> In the first form, it renames <source>, which must exist and be either a file, symlink or directory, to <destination>. In the second form, the last argument has to be an existing directory; the given sources will be moved into this directory. The index is updated after successful completion, but the change must still be committed. OPTIONS
-f, --force Force renaming or moving of a file even if the target exists -k Skip move or rename actions which would lead to an error condition. An error happens when a source is neither existing nor controlled by Git, or when it would overwrite an existing file unless -f is given. -n, --dry-run Do nothing; only show what would happen -v, --verbose Report the names of files as they are moved. GIT
Part of the git(1) suite Git 1.8.3.1 06/10/2014 GIT-MV(1)
