Hello,
I am trying to get rsync-3.0.0pre10 --iconv option working between two linux
hosts in local network.
The client host is running Fedora Core 4 (kernel 2.6.17) and is using iso8859-1
character set. LANG=en_US
The daemon host is running Centos 5 (kernel 2.6.18) and is using utf-8
character set. LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Rsync is transferring files properly without --iconv switch:
fc4: (connected using putty with translation set to ISO-8859-1:1998 (Latin-1,
West Europe))
$ ls test/
example-file-öäå.txt example.txt
centos5: (connected using putty with translation set to UTF-8)
$ ls test/
example-file-???.txt example.txt
$ ls test/ | iconv -f iso88591 -t utf8
example-file-öäå.txt
example.txt
The daemon settings in rsyncd.conf for the module has following line:
charset = utf8
When I try to use --iconv=iso88591,utf8 on the client side, following errors
are displayed:
fc4:
[receiver] cannot convert filename: test/example-file-öäå.txt (Invalid or
incomplete multibyte or wide character)
centos5:
rsyncd[pid-number]: [receiver] cannot convert filename:
test/example-file-???.txt (Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character)
(high bit characters replaced with question marks above)
I have tried the transfer with following combinations, but none of them have
worked.
client side:
--iconv=.
--iconv=iso88591
--iconv=iso88591,utf8
daemon side:
charset = .
charset = utf8
I am able to convert the filenames manually in the daemon host using convmv
script, http://www.j3e.de/linux/convmv/
before convmv:
$ ls test/ | od -c
0000000 e x a m p l e - f i l e - 366 344 345
0000020 . t x t \n e x a m p l e . t x t
0000040 \n
0000041
after convmv:
$ ls test/ | od -c
0000000 e x a m p l e - f i l e - 303 266 303
0000020 244 303 245 . t x t \n e x a m p l e .
0000040 t x t \n
0000044
Should rsync be able to convert filenames from single byte (iso8859-1) to
multibyte character set (utf-8)?
Has anyone got iso8859-1 to utf-8 conversion working with rsync-3.0.0pre10?
Regards,
Sami
