Yeah - this is from a Mac OS X server to a Linux box. It just sees
the / and then stops as it expects a directory and sees a file.

Hi there - I am trying to do a site to site nightly rsync between
two boxes
using ssh - all of the setup steps work and everything can talk
nicely etc.
However, the users unfortunately have lots of files with / in the
filename
(eg 21/08/08.ppt etc.) - when I try and run rsync on the content of
these
folders rsync understandably moans about the filenames being
invalid (ie it
thinks they are folder seperators rather than filenames) and stops.
Is there
a way I can get rsync to 'blindly' synch these files and ignore
the / in the
filename? I would just say to the clients to rename said files but
there are
a whold bunch of them, ie way too many to do this for. Any help much
appreciated!
Wierd, last time I used a microsoft system, internally a forward
slash /
was equivalent to a backslash \ , i.e. in C you could do:
fd = open("C:/path/to/file", O_RDONLY);
and it would would just fine, accessing C:\path\to\file ...
Anyway, you might be helped by using transliterate.diff from the
patches
tarball.
