Hi all, I'm not new to rsync, but I'm relatively new when using Cygwin's rsync (v2.6.6) to backup my files from Windows XP workstation to a Linux server (a RedHat, rsync v2.5.5).
What surprised me is that rsync daemon seems to accept module names with the same spelling, but wrong letter case. For example, I have a module named "TestRsync" (not quotes) on the Linux server. Then when I run Cygwin's rsync using the module spec "linux_server::TestRSync" (no quotes, notice the case different in the module name), I'd expect rsync to fail. But as a matter of fact, it didn't. Instead, rsync creates a new directory called "TestRSync" under the root directory of the TestRsync module. (That is, if my TestRsync module is rooted as /my_backup, the above rsync session will created /my_backup/TestRSync, and put all the files into this new directory.) So my question is: Is this by design that rsync can accept module names ignoring letter case? But if so, why does rsync create new directories when the letter cases are different instead of doing the normal synchronization in the /my_backup directory?
