rsync - Jun 2004 - rsync, windows/cygwin and special characters in filenames

Hello,

I'm using cygwin and rsync in my windows-equipped laptop to synchronize 
work and other documents between my file server (Linux RH 9) and laptop. 
As I'm Finnish, many of the transferred files have special characters 
?,?,? (A-umlaut etc) in the filenames.

I noticed that when the files are synced from the server to my windows 
box, the rsync translates the special characters to quotes. This is a 
little bit problematic as there may be depencies and links between the 
files.

Does anyone has an idea how this could be solved?

Thank you,
Ville Mattila

Rsync does not translate any characters, so the problem is most likely
that the font you are using in Windows is not compatible with the
character set you want to display (e.g. Windows tends to use CP 1252).
