Handling double quotes in Plink (Windows) is very hard. I need to send a argument including a double quote on both side but even though I tried lots of \", "\", "\"", I got several errors as following.

plink.exe  -ssh -l testacct -pw  kajskldf 10.31.137.199 " myexe where "id > 6000" "

The system cannot find the path specified.
or
Argument for 'where' option must be bounded by ""

Can you let me know how I can pass this kind of argument to a linux server?

UPDATE

This syntax works.

plink.exe  -ssh -l testacct -pw  kajskldf 10.31.137.199 " myexe where \\\""id \> 6000\\\"" "

I.e. this should work: `plink.exe ... 10.31.137.199 "myexe where ""id > 6000"""` – Martin Prikryl Jan 22 '16 at 07:19
