The way the space is escaped there at the end probably needs some tweaking. Note that the space is escaped in the current shell, and rsync receives 'archlap:/mnt/media/larissa-wine/drive_c/Program Files' as the last argument. I'm not sure how it's handled after this point, but either of the following ways should work: 1) archlap:/mnt/media/larissa-wine/drive_c/Program\\\ Files 2) archlap:'/mnt/media/larissa-wine/drive_c/Program\ Files'
