-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Tomasz Chmielewski on 4/1/2008 5:59 AM: | According to http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html: | | Cygwin supports both Win32- and POSIX-style paths, where directory | delimiters may be either forward or back slashes. UNC pathnames | (starting with two slashes and a network name) are also supported.
Cygwin1.dll does. But that doesn't mean all cygwin apps do. | It works fine with cygwin paths: | | $ rsync -v /cygdrive/c/1 /cygdrive/c/2 Then use that. POSIX paths are the preferred way to specify files, and if a backslash-path doesn't work, we aren't going to bend over backwards to make it "work". | | Why does it fail with Win32-paths? In the case of rsync (and also tar), the program has a special and documented syntax of remote-name:file, so you are asking to find the remote machine named "C" and the file "\1" on that machine, rather than the file "1" on the local drive c. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
