Handle space in directory name
I have two servers in subject, say server1 and server2. I have shell scripts on server1. We have a directory on server2 from where the files need to be scp to server1.
The directory on server2 is having space in its name.
I have script on server1 that takes the directory path of server2 as a parameter and scp the file from server2 to server1. I am unable to supply the directory path of server2 as an input to the shell script on server1.
Need assistance to nullify the space in the directory name.
Have tried to use the \ slash once , twice, thrice...all the efforts failed.
Help needed.

ypinit
YPINIT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual YPINIT(8)
NAME
ypinit -- initialize NIS subsystem
SYNOPSIS
ypinit -c [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]
ypinit -m [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]
ypinit -s master_server [domainname] [-l server1,...,serverN]
DESCRIPTION
ypinit initializes the files and directories that are required for a NIS client or server.
If domainname isn't specified, the default domain (as returned by domainname(1)) is used.
The following options are available:
-c Create a NIS client. Initializes /var/yp/binding/<domain>.ypservers to contain a list of ypservers for ypbind(8) to connect to.
-l server1,...,serverN
Set the list of client servers from the command line rather than prompting for them interactively. The format is a comma separated
list of server names with no spaces.
-m Create a master NIS server. Generates map data from local files (/etc/master.passwd, /etc/group, etc.).
-s master_server
Create a slave server. Downloads the maps from master_server, which should be the active master NIS server.
To rebuild or refresh the maps for the NIS domain <domain>, change to the /var/yp/<domain> directory and run make.
FILES
/var/yp master NIS directory; contains the template makefiles.
/var/yp/<domain> directory to store NIS maps for <domain>.
/var/yp/binding/<domain>.ypservers
list of NIS servers to bind to.
