I cannot trasfer a file with a colon via rsync to a Win box. I've rsync-3.0.4 on the FBSD (sending side) and rsync-2.6.9 under cygwin on Win (receiving side). I'm not sure what the error message means:
% rsync ./http:__en.wikipedia.org_favicon.ico [EMAIL PROTECTED]: rsync: rename "/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/mexas/My Documents/work/.http:__en.wikipedia.org_favicon.ico.8dBX2K" -> "http:__en.wikipedia.org_favicon.ico": No such file or directory (2) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1040) [sender=3.0.4] Note the extra dot before the file name, and extra suffix at the end. Is this the expected behaviour? However, to another FBSD box transfer is fine: % rsync ./http:__en.wikipedia.org_favicon.ico [EMAIL PROTECTED]: % Is this something to do with Windows, or old rsync version on cygwin? Even more bizzare, I get the same error even if I "--exclude" all such files from transfer. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
