It gets real crazy when you're sending remote commands so you have to escape the escapes so that the remote keeps them and properly escapes the space

ssh -t remote "mv /home/me/folder\\\ with \\\ spaces /home/me/downloads/

Does SSH require quoting commands?

It doesn't for commands without spaces (i.e reboot) You might be able to escape the spaces and not use quotes, I'm not sure

Might be client-dependent; I've regularly ran commands with spaces (e.g. ssh a@a.local ssh b@b.local) without a problem.

Yup, this is me with scp. Well, it would be if I didn't just use asterisks to avoid that PITA.
