This is on rsync v2.4.5 on RedHat 7.3. If I do something like
rsync ... 'somehost:/path/to/files.*' /local/path it works fine, but if I do rsync ... '/local/path/to/files.*' somehost:/path/to globbing fails, yielding an error about being unable to find a file named 'files.*': link_stat /local/path/to/files.* : No such file or directory rsync error: partial transfer (code 23) at main.c(578) This strikes me as Not A Good Thing, i.e., file globbing should work even inside literals. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "We're smarter individually." -- Larry Niven -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
