rsync - Nov 2011 - Rsync with special characters

Hi,
I'm having problem using rsync from an Ubuntu server to a Windows machine
using cygwin and rsync. It works whenever I have a share name that doesn't
include a special character like ?, ? or ?. My full command is:


"rsync -avz -e 'ssh -p specialport' user at
windowsmachine:/cygdrive/c/?test --iconv=CP1252,utf-8 (Also tride ISO8859-1 and
utf-8)"


I thought that iconv would be the solution and when I use it, it changes the ?
to \#305. Still I get the message:


"rsync: link_stat "/cygdrive/c/\#305test" failed: No such file or
directory (2)"


I'm not an expert at rsync in any kind of way, and I have tried to google
this one for some time, so I would really appreciate some help.


Thanks
Philip

Checkout the manpage on --protect-args:

If you use this option with --iconv, the args related to the remote side
will also be translated from the local to the remote character-set.  The
translation happens before wild-cards are expanded.

Without that, rsync (really ssh) just sends the bytes you specify exactly
as you specify them, so you need to specify the right ones for the remote
side or use one or more wild-cards (e.g. "??" would match a two-byte
special character in many shells).
