Hi,

When i try the following command, It work fine

Quote:

echo "zone \"abc.com\" {"

output: zone "abc.com" {

but when i try to enter data in a remote file the quotation " signs around domain name does not enter, I'm try it with the following command.

Quote:

ssh root@server "echo "zone \"abc.com\" {" > filename"
cat filename

output: zone abc.com { <-- Here quotation " signs around domain name are missing.

please help.

Here's a trick to make the quoting happen on the local side:

Quote:

echo "zone \"abc.com\" {" | ssh root@server "cat - > filename"

The bare "-" after cat tells cat to read from stdin, which is attached to stdout from your echo command.
