Hi,

Take a look at the "--protect-args" argument as well, this is probably a
more elegant solution.
Thanks, I agree it would be. Both these systems are running 2.6.8,
though, which was released prior to the --protect-args switch.
Add another thing to my list...
Thanks

-s, --protect-args
This option sends all filenames and some options to the
remote rsync without allowing the remote shell to interpret them.
This means that spaces are not split in names, and any
non-wildcard special characters are not translated (such as ~, $, ;,
&, etc.). Wildcards are expanded on the remote host by
rsync (instead of the shell doing it).
If you use this option with --iconv, the args will also be
translated from the local to the remote character-set. The
translation happens before wild-cards are expanded. See
also the --files-from option.

As is always the case, I seem to have solved it a few minutes after
writing this email.
Turns out I don't need to escape it at all if I wrap the entire source
path in double quotes. I had tried only wrapping the final directory
in double quotes and that was failing.
Thanks

Hi All,
I realize this has been addressed ad naseum, but I simply cannot seem
to solve my issue despite many hours of mucking about. I am
attempting to run a command like:
rsync -prvl --delete --stats --progress -e 'ssh -p 22 -i
/root/.ssh/id_dsa'
backup/company/data/current_backup/company_Ralf/doc\\\ -\\\ network/
r...@server.domain.com:"/drives/m/mirrorcentralstoredir/company/'doc
- network/'" > '/backup/company/logs/Sync_company_doc -
network_temporary_log_file.log'
I am getting the error:
rsync: link_stat
"/backup/company/data/current_backup/company_Ralf/doc\ -\ network/."
failed: No such file or directory (2)
That particular call is escaped three times as per one of the
examples on [1], but I have tried one and two escapes as well.
I have attempted all manners of escaping listed on the Rsync site
[1], but to no avail. I suspect that is because I am using rsync
through SSH and those examples deal with connecting to the rsync
daemon on the remote system.
I have tried wrapping the source path in single quotes and double
quotes (and the single then double quote as listed in [1]) as well
as escaping the space with a varying number of backslashes and I
always get the same error.
I have verified that the source directory does indeed exist.
I am not an expert is escaping, but I believe the command is escaped
twice. Once in the script that makes the call, once on the host OS
when the rsync call is made.
Can someone save me from my madness and point out what I am not seeing?
Thanks
Jon
