rsync - Jul 2009 - Possibly bug in rsync-3.0.6 when spaces are there in destination path

The below command works perfectly and it creates "test file" on
destination
host.

rsync -avz /tmp/test\ file destination:/tmp/
sending incremental file list
test file

sent 91 bytes  received 31 bytes  27.11 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

The below two command doesn't work. The rsync creates "test" file
on
destination host in both of below cases.

1. I want to copy "/tmp/test file" to "/tmp/test with
spaces" on
destination.

rsync -avz /tmp/test\ file destination:/tmp/test\ with\ spaces
sending incremental file list
test file
sent 91 bytes  received 31 bytes  27.11 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

2. I want to copy source:/tmp/"test file" to
Destination:/tmp/"test with
spaces"/. The "test with spaces" is the existence folder on
destination
host.

rsync -avz /tmp/test\ file destination:/tmp/test\ with\ spaces/
sending incremental file list
test file

sent 91 bytes  received 31 bytes  27.11 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

let me know if I am missing something obvious.

Thanks, Paresh

Option "-s" a.k.a. "--protect-args" is exactly for this.

see 'man rsync'
