You might want to undo the extra >$TMP, it's pointless. see above.

Keep the extra quotes though.

The difference between $fname and "$fname" is that the former will split into several arguments if $fname happens to have a space in it, while "$fname" will remain as one argument with a space in it. Splitting would be bad, as it might try to handle "/path/dir with space/file" as three files, "/path/dir", "with", and "space/file", and complain that it can't find any of them.

He's put it in quotes like "$fname", then added another layer of quotes like "\"$fname\"" to make sure it gets quoted on the remote machine too -- one layer of quotes gets stripped off of whatever you feed into ssh.
