Folks:
I am really struggling with the "spaces in the path/file name" thing.
Some stuff I have figured out - some I haven't. Take this one:
Source:
- PC with WindozeXP Pro
- Cygwin (just updated)
- Files in folder (from cygwin root)
/bob smith/sally smith/
- Using ssh to secure the link
- Typical rsync command:
rsync -e ssh -vazP <source path>
<user>@domainname.com:<destination path>
Destination:
- FC3 (just updated)
- Destination folder:
/disk2/larry jones/bonnie jones/
Symptoms:
- rsync on FC3 creates a directory named /disk2/larry/ and copies
the contents of /bob smith/sally smith/ into it.
Syntax tried:
rsync -e ssh -vazP '/bob smith/sally smith/'
<user>@domainname.com:'/disk2/larry jones/bonnie jones/'
rsync -e ssh -vazP "/bob smith/sally smith/"
<user>@domainname.com:"/disk2/larry jones/bonnie jones/"
rsync -e ssh -vazP /bob\ smith/sally\ smith/
<user>@domainname.com:/disk2/larry\ jones/bonnie\ jones/
And combinations using the left of one of the above and the right of the
other.
I have also tried an example using "echo <path stuff> | rsync..." but didn't
understand the author's intent and didn't get it to go either.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Clay
