Hi, Thank you for the reply. The server on which the files are stored is a Debian Linux box. The server I am migrating to is a Mac OS X server box. I have managed to apply the iconv patch to the linux side of rsync, but it seems to be more complicated on the mac.

Filenames are transferred as-is. The target filesystem doesn't allow for these characters. What filesystem type is it? https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2790 mentions a patch, http://opencoder.net/iconv.diff , to recode filenames using iconv. Just search for "rsync iconv", you'll find some additional hints :) MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49-172-7608481 Signature of: ...und wenn Du denkst, es geht nicht mehr, the second : kommt irgendwo ein Lichtlein her. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGdlxtHb1edYOZ4bsRAi+CAKCGJsYzD0c+IJ1l2GYEOLKY8/8GZwCfYXGQ 5w1NLfLAZvhaj9n7g+SDlAQ= =bzsk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
