 **The Slurm (or other) script that I edited on my PC doesn't work after copying to the cluster**.

-**I can't scp my file/directory name with a space**.  ''scp'' interprets an extra space as a list of files or directories and a group with a colon as a remote file designator hostname:filename.  Fix: use single or double quotes. If one appears in the filename, use the other.
