Hi there, in partial mode of Rsync in version up to 2.5.5 on Linux an Cygwin a Ctrl-C during syncing creates a corrupted file. The partially transfered data (with a dot on first position of the filename) will be renamed after a ctrl-c occurs (on both OS) or a window-close (cygwin) to the filename of a fully transfered file (without the dot), which aren't complete !
To reproduce the error do: "rsync --vau --partial /tmp/test1/ /tmp/test2/" on Linux (my system kernel 2.4.18-4GB) with a big file in directory /tmp/test1/. Press ctrl-c if rsync creates the temporary dot-file and the temporary-file will be renamed immediatly, but the file is not completed.
