rsync - Aug 2006 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 4023] New: Rsync does not copy files recursively when using ssh public key authorization and the files-from option

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4023

           Summary: Rsync does not copy files recursively when using ssh
                    public key authorization and the files-from option
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.8
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: swhitehouse@novell.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


Setting up rsync to copy files remotely using ssh and a list of files using the
files-from option works fine until adding public key authentication instead of
requiring a password.

rsync -avzP --files-from=$RSYNCVAR --delete --ignore-errors -e "ssh -i
/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa"
user@host.domain.com:/srv/www/htdocs/gwcode/files/rsync/
/opt/novell/groupwise/mail/code

The file containing the list points has two directories and a list of four
files in it. The files at the root of the path copy correctly, but the files in
the sub-directories do not. This works fine when the authkey is removed and a
password is entered.

Adding a -r to the command enables recursive functionality.
The -r was not necessary for recursivity however without the public key.
Strange behavior.

Right, the man page says that -a doesn't imply -r when --files-from is
enabled.

If you can reproduce the incorrect behavior of recursing even without -r and
you have rsync 2.6.8 on both machines, we should investigate further.  I could
not reproduce it.  I set up a scenario with password authentication and the
following command:
    rsync -avzP --files-from=list --delete --ignore-errors localhost:tmp/src/
dest
Rsync correctly did not recurse into a directory I named in the --files-from
list.
