I am trying to rsync from a SCO box to a Windows 2000 server as a (temporary) backup while I build a more suitable Linux backup server. Rsync on SCO reports errors such as the following:
rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "var/opt/K/SCO/MMDF/2.43.3b/spool/mail/:saved": No such file or directory (2) stat var/opt/K/SCO/MMDF/2.43.3b/spool/mail/:saved : No such file or directory I know this has to do with the colons in the directory/file names. All of the files that have this error have colons in the path somewhere. They are both a recent version, 2.5.6 protocol version 26. I guess another snafu is that my cygwin install is very basic, cygwin-lite with ssh and rsync. Does rsync convert between Windows/Unix filenames automatically in instances such as this? Is there a way to use cygpath to get around this limitation? Thanks in advance for your help. -Ben Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
