Word-splitting is caused by ssh executing the command using the remote shell, so you typically need to not only escape spaces for your local shell, but also for the remote shell. I recommend getting it to work with something simple, like ls: ssh -l user domainname.com ls -la '/disk2/larry\ jones/bonnie\ jones/' (Note the use of single quotes to get the backslash-escaped spaces over to the remote shell.) If that syntax works with straight ssh, it will also work with rsync. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
