I've had some issues using the --quote option with bash. I'd like to send
the command CWD to change directories on my server but it seems that when
using bash, curl does not see the argument I'm sending with the command.

 ie:

DVR_CWD="curl --trace-ascii \"-\" -ns ftp://192.168.2.104/ --quote \"CWD
Jul.31.2008\"";
echo $DVR_CWD > /root/DVRCWD
$(tail < /root/DVRCWD)

The response is:

== Info: About to connect() to 192.168.2.104 port 21 (#0)
== Info: Trying 192.168.2.104... == Info: connected

When I simple enter the command from the command line it works:
curl --trace-ascii "-" -n ftp://192.168.2.104/ -Q 'CWD Jul.31.2008'

 and idea why quote will not send the argument for CWD when using bash?

Thanks
