Re: [S3tools-general] Invalid filenames error

[Joe Auty]

Michal Ludvig January 20, 2011 7:08 PM I guess the ^H character was put there by an older version of s3cmd. s3cmd 1.0 should sanitise the filenames before upload. On the other hand having a backspace in the filename is not a very good idea anyway, you may just want to rename it locally. Hmmm... well, the sanitizing part doesn't seem to be working, at least not for me. I've run fixbucket on the last directory outputted to the screen and it said it fixed some characters, and I've tried deleting this directory/object from my bucket so that it would upload a new copy, and but I'm still getting: WARNING: 1 non-printable characters replaced in: homedirs/canadianbrass/oldsite/nm_webkitold/mediaplayer/^Hmediaplayer.swf WARNING: 1 non-printable characters replaced in: homedirs/canadianbrass/oldsite/nm_webkitold/mediaplayer/._^Hmediaplayer.swf WARNING: 1 non-printable characters replaced in: homedirs/canadianbrass/oldsite/nm_webkitold/mediaplayer/._^Hmediaplayer.fla WARNING: 1 non-printable characters replaced in: homedirs/canadianbrass/oldsite/nm_webkitold/mediaplayer/^Hmediaplayer.fla ERROR: reference to invalid character number: line 2, column 258083 ERROR: Parameter problem: Bucket contains invalid filenames. Please run: s3cmd fixbucket s3://your-bucket/ I'll try deleting these files from the source directory and attempt another sync, but it would be great for the sanitize to work because I have absolutely no clue where those backspace characters came from. Is there a way to see what is in line 2, column 258083 of what I'm assuming is some sort of s3cmd tmp file?

In your case it should replace the "^H" character (which is a backspace) by something more sane, perhaps underscore. That's cool, but after my next sync won't it just replace this filename with the filename with the ^H again with no manually provided exclude list?

What does this command do, exactly? As it turns out I don't care about salvaging this particular file, but it would be nice to know more about this problem because I'm fairly certain that I've run into this before as well.
