I'm still struggling with your request. Please give us a sample of "a list of paths separated by whitespace". If I presume such a list, your sed 's/ //g' will make it one single long string of no use in a for loop. And, "paths are typed manually, pointing to the file that is in the webserver" is beyond my imagination. Please give us samples of your input data and some rudimentary code snippet that is supposed to work on it.
And, "putty" is not a shell but a communication tool. Shells might be sth. like sh, ksh, bash, (csh, tcsh)

Hi,
I have a for loop which iterates over a list of strings, separated by whitespace:

NAME
systemd-path - List and query system and user paths
SYNOPSIS
systemd-path [OPTIONS...] [NAME...]
DESCRIPTION
systemd-path may be used to query system and user paths. The tool makes many of the paths described in file-hierarchy(7) available for
querying.
When invoked without arguments, a list of known paths and their current values is shown. When at least one argument is passed, the path
with this name is queried and its value shown. The variables whose name begins with "search-" do not refer to individual paths, but instead
to a list of colon-separated search paths, in their order of precedence.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
--suffix=
The printed paths are suffixed by the specified string.
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
