rsync - Jul 2005 - [Bug 2873] New: Including username and hostname in both source and dest fails

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2873

           Summary: Including username and hostname in both source and dest
                    fails
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.3
          Platform: PPC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: randy.antler@screenplayinc.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


If you include the username and hostname in both the source and destination
path, the rsync command
fails.

Example:

rsync --progress -av username@host01:/root/path/file.ext
username@host02:/root/path/file.ext

Results in error message:

mkstemp "/root/path/username@host02:/root/path/.file.ext.bEpHF5"
failed: No such file or directory

It would appear that the path given to "mkstemp" is corrupted and
cannot work.

One has to login to one of the two hosts and change the rsync command syntax to
get the copy to
work.
