Filenames are transferred as-is. The target filesystem doesn't allow for these characters. What filesystem type is it? https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2790 mentions a patch, http://opencoder.net/iconv.diff , to recode filenames using iconv. Just search for "rsync iconv", you'll find some additional hints :) MfG, JBG -- Jan-Benedict Glaw [EMAIL PROTECTED] +49-172-7608481 Signature of: ...und wenn Du denkst, es geht nicht mehr, the second : kommt irgendwo ein Lichtlein her.
