Summary: unable to rsync filenames with whitespace from remote
source
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.8
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When trying to rsync files located on a remote server using:
rsync -av remote.domain.com:/path/to/files/with\ whitespace/
/path/to/local/destination
The rsync fails with a message similar to:
receiving file list ... rsync: link_stat "/path/to/files/with" failed: No such
file or directory (2)
rsync: link_stat "/root/whitespace/." failed: No such file or directory (2)
done
client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the
--recur
sive option?
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(723)
Doing the transfer the other way works. For example:
rsync -av /path/to/files/with\ whitespace/
remote.domain.com:/path/to/local/destination
would copy the files properly.
This is tested from CentOS 4.4 with rsync 2.6.3 and Fedora Core 4 and 6 using
rsync 2.6.8.
