I'm using CWRSync 2.6.9 protocol 29 on a Windows 2003 Standard R2 server. I'm trying to copy files onto a local usb harddrive.
Both filesystems are NTFS. Rsync is failing to copy some files due to the file name length. I kind of assumed that Rsync could handle the same file name length that Windows users are allowed to enter. :-) Is there *anything* I can do with Rsync to allow these kind of files to be copied? Ok, I know these file names are ridiculous but Users will be Users wouldn't they? Here is an example of an error log it reports. rsync: mkstemp "/cygdrive/x/20070221(Wednesday)/Users_profiles/DavidV/Favorites/Pipa Det/.AC-CESS AC-ROV, ROV, rov, mini ROV, micro ROV, low cost ROV, inspection class ROV, underwater camera, underwater rov, security inspection, remote visual inspection, acrov, small rov.url.gt1Uh8" failed: File name too long (91) rsync: mkstemp "/cygdrive/x/20070221(Wednesday)/Users_profiles/DavidV/Favorites/Pipa Det/Flexible PCB/.Conventional PCB Design and Assembly, Electronic, Plated Through- Thru Hole (PTH) Design and Manufacture, Stock Management Program, Software, System Saturn Solutions UK.url.7zTYDS" failed: File name too long (91) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] -- Stuart Halliday This email is the property of ECS Technology Ltd.
