I have read read the why's and whyfores and howto's and whento's about posting for help, but I'm not sure whether this has already been addressed - plenty other Win/spaces-in-dir-names issues have been.
I was running rsync to copy stuff off of a Windows disk onto a Windows disk on another machine via Linux - Mdk 9.1 rsync - (rsync-2.5.7-0.1.92mdk) , when I first noticed the problem.
I have reproduced it below.
The command I used was
rsync -avz -e ssh /mnt/D/Program\ Files/Activision/WizardsWarriors/* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/downloads/Program\ Files/Activision
This command gave me the following in the /mnt/downloads directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] richard1]$ ll /mnt/downloads/ total 5344753 drwxrwxr-x 29 richard1 richard1 4184 Jan 9 21:54 Program/
It seems that the rsync (or the shell or whatever) loses everything after the whitespace (even though it has a \)
Is this a documented bug? If so is it a problem with rsync or the shell? I did try with scp and got the following
[EMAIL PROTECTED] richard1]$ scp -r /mnt/D/Program\ Files/Activision/WizardsWarriors/* [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/downloads/Program\ Files/Activision
scp: ambiguous target
So I suppose it might be a shell problem
Thanks for the great product
RichardM
