I also have a feeling it has something to do with the way ssh is sending the single quotations over to windows. I will continue to troubleshoot this issue to see what I can determine. IF/When I find a resolution I will post it here to help others.
My main concern is that prior to cygwin-2.5.0 it was working correctly, with out any changes, and I have tested on multiple machines. I would love to run it from a local script, but we use cygwin as part of a software solution that we deploy to many computers. In this case, it is not a practice solution in our scale. Thank you for your assistance. I will continue to work on this. :) -Alex On Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 1:01 PM, Achim Gratz <strom...@nexgo.de> wrote: > Alexandria Gutierrez writes: >> I was already using a single quotes to send the command via ssh, such as: >> ssh -q -n 'command here' > > Those quotes never make it over to the Windows side, since they are > stripped by the invoking shell (unless you do something to the shell). > >> I added the single quotes on the path itself such as: >> -backuptarget:'\\SERVERNAME\PATH\TO\SHARE' >> and this time it worked via cygwin terminal, >> but it still does not work via ssh for some reason > > That quoting just ensures you don't need to write "\\\\SERVER\\PATH" > like you would with double quotes. > >> On cygwin on the windows nodes, I made sure they are using bash >> on the linux node by default we use kornshell >> >> Since nothing has changed, do you think this difference in shell may >> be the difference? > > I don't know.
