rsync - Aug 2012 - [Bug 9107] New: rsync auto rename .dat files to .exe

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9107

           Summary: rsync auto rename .dat files to .exe
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.7
          Platform: x64
        OS/Version: Windows 7
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: grehe at yahoo.com
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


I have some files that are .dat data files and some are .exe files which I
renamed to .ex. But when rsync copies the files to the destination folder, it
also renames them to "File.dat.ex" and "File.ex.exe" which
causes
synchronization issues on multiple machines. You can recreate this by rename
any .exe file to .ex and run rsync on it.

I am using rsync from cwRsync on Windows 7 and I do not believe this bug have
been fixed as I have searched bugzilla and changelogs to the newer versions.

Thanks
Grehe

please provide the output of a directory listing on the source and on the
destination, it`s hard to believe that rsync renames files that way on
transfer.  are you sure you have not been misled by windows filename extension
hiding in windows explorer?
