in thread Getting information about a remote file via SSH: how to escape the filename

How can you discern a valid filename from a malicious one in a generic way?

More to the point, if a file has a name that would cause problems using that approach (e.g., because it has quotation marks in it), I still want to get the information about that file from the remote server.
