XP Pro on both ends. This is the error in the log building file list ... file has vanished: "/cygdrive/F/Share/CP Art/M-P/M/McCullough Const." done IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion
Once I go into cmd and rename the folder via the short name to "McCullough Const", it works just fine. _____________________________ Stephen Zemlicka Integrated Computer Technologies PH. 608-558-5926 E-Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt McCutchen Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2007 10:15 PM To: Stephen Zemlicka Cc: rsync@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: period in folder name On 10/11/07, Stephen Zemlicka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm having a terrible time with one particular customer using rsync.

Which OS is running on each side of the copy? Exactly how does the backup "fail"? This is likely to be a Windows or Cygwin idiosyncrasy. On my computer, Windows seems to remove trailing dots and spaces from every filename passed to a system call, so I can't create a folder whose name ends in a period.
