Hi, The documentation states that rsync writes temp-files to the recieving directory, unless --temp-dir is specified. This is not true since cvs-20030326, when receiver.c was modified. ( http://cvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/rsync/receiver.c#rev1.44 )
You will get this error when you don't have write access to the current directory: mkstemp .somefile.UQVWQd failed: Permission denied rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1045) IMHO the fix introduced, should either be removed or modified to work as documented.
