Public bug reported:
If a username has a space in it, ssh-copy-id cannot handle it, unless
it's in a non-obvious way. ssh itself has no problem with spaces.
$ ssh-copy-id "User name"@server
ssh: Could not resolve hostname User: Name or service not known
$ ssh-copy-id "User\ name"@server
ssh: Could not resolve hostname User\\: Name or service not known
$ ssh-copy-id User\ name@server
ssh: Could not resolve hostname User: Name or service not known
