No problem, glad this might be useful to more than 1 person :)

Interesting that unquoted paths are locally expanded, I would never 
have guessed, but I suppose it makes sense.

This is the one I'm going to use, thanks for the testing!

(after testing)

Damn! This does not work for the source forge server.

This variation does work (I'm now using it):

[user@windowshost]: ssh -l <user> <linuxhost> ls -la '~/folder'

I've added quoting to all SSH commands that uses paths.

My comment above was under the assumption that your OpenSSH accepted 
windows paths. If it doesn't, then agreed, more than just the above 
changes are needed.

Understood, although the @ could be used to distinguish between 
local and remote parts.

pscp handles local windows paths correctly.

When I implemement the proposed "current directory hack" there will
be no more local paths only a filename ;)

...

Ok, all discussed changes are implemented, tested and checked into CVS.
Please also test and drop me a note if it doesn't work as expected.

I have *many* other local changes to other parts of Boa, but have 
not had time for a mega checkin, hope to get to it soon!

Thanks for the feedback,
Riaan.
