I cant reproduce this. With escapes, with quotes, with just a dir or a direct file.

on nc28:
sudo -u www-data php occ files:scan --path="admin/files/Demo/New folder - with space/"

+---------+-------+-----+---------+---------+--------+--------------+

If i remove " and escape spaces and dash result is the same.

my bad, i aliased it in a buggy way. thanks for headsup @small1

function occ { /bin/php -d apc.enable_cli=1 -f ~/pub/nextcloud//occ -- $@ ; }

right way to do is:
function occ { /bin/php -d apc.enable_cli=1 -f ~/pub/nextcloud//occ -- "$@" ; }
