NAME

Net::OpenSSH::ShellQuoter::MSCmd - Quoter for Windows cmd.exe

DESCRIPTION

This quoter is intended for interaction with SSH servers running on Windows which invoke the requested commands through the cmd.exe shell.

Because of cmd.exe not doing wildcard expansion (on Windows this task is left to the final command), glob quoting just quotes everything.

Some Windows servers use Win32::CreateProcess to run the cmd.exe shell which runs the requested command. In that case, both the MSCmd and MSWin quoters have to be chained (and BTW, order matters):

   $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new(...,
                            remote_shell => 'MSCmd,MSWin');

Actually, cmd.exe may require not quoting at all when the requested command is a builtin (for instance, echo).
