To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Message-ID: From: "Mark W Young" Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2002 17:40:01 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi, I've noticed a problem with rsync v2.5.5-1. Take the following example: $ rsync -e ssh --recursive --compress -v MS\ TS\ Client/ marky AT kodiak: ~/rsynclink/MS\ TS\ Client marky AT kodiak's password: building file list ... done created directory /home/kluster/marky/rsynclink/MS ... The problem here is that rsync should have used the directory /home/kluster/marky/rsynclink/MS\ TS\ Client This can be avoided by specifying the source directory name without the "/" at the end and the next directory up for the destination. E.g. $ rsync -e ssh --recursive --compress -v MS\ TS\ Client marky AT kodiak: ~/rsynclink/ marky AT kodiak's password: building file list ... done I hope that makes sense.
