Package: sitecopy
Version: 1:0.16.6-1
Severity: important

Hi,

While trying to pull down and mirror an existing web site to my local
machine, I ran into a problem where:

   sitecopy --fetch <site>

would stop with an error about not being able to read a filename.  Once I
re-ran the tool with the '-d ftp' option I was able to figure out that the 
problem was an existing file with a leading space in the name, called:

   " 2003.doc"

Once I had renamed the file, the rest of the site seemed to pull on down
properly.  The big issue is that A) it fails and B) doesn't give a useful 
error message so you can figure out the problem more quickly.

Haven't had time to re-create this error on a smaller site, but I can come
up with a test case if need be.

Thanks,
John
