If you're using Cygwin's rsync, it will definitely prefer POSIX paths though. Windows shell (I use the term lightly here) is no better with raw spaces in the paths than any other shell. You'll need to quote them just like you would in other shells. Perhaps you should state the problem you're having. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
