This looks like a shell issue to me. Try
> rsync "root@192.168.101.53:/Volumes/WD-Daten/XserveMirror/Satz/Akzidenzen\ > 2012/" "/Volumes/PromiseRAID/Satz/Akzidenzen 2012" 2>&1 And > rsync "root@192.168.101.53:'/Volumes/WD-Daten/XserveMirror/Satz/Akzidenzen > 2012/'" "/Volumes/PromiseRAID/Satz/Akzidenzen 2012" 2>&1 When the path is being sent to the remote system there needs to be something telling the remote system that the blank is part of the file name. -Allen Sent from my iPad On Mar 1, 2013, at 18:57, Achim Denzl <de...@dtpd.com> wrote: > > Hi anybody! > > I'm not shure if this really is a rsync problem, it might also be a shell > issue.
