SUMMARY: Quotes in a shell script

Thanks to everyone who replied.  The two ways everyone mentioned were either
putting the double quotes encapsulated within single quotes.

echo 'BANNER="This is a banner"' > /etc/default/ftpd

or by using C style escape characters.

echo "BANNER=\"This is a banner\""

What is the best way to echo quotes within a quote inside a shell script?

echo "BANNER="This is a banner"" > /etc/default/ftpd
