Hi All, I have been looking at this thing for a while now and I think it is a bug in rsync 3.1.2 version 31. But before I log a defect, I need some confirmation. My rsync solution is running in Cygwin on my Windows 10 PC to my linux server. If required, I am rsyncing my files back onto my PC. The directory path contains spaces in the name and the file name contains strange characters (è), for example: F:\Directory Name\What is wereldorièntatie.doc If I rsync this to the server without the option -s everything works as expected. I can also rsync it back to my pc as long as I do not use the option -s. It will not work in both directions if I do use the -s option. Now I have the following file, note I replaced the è for a normal e. F:\Directory Name\What is wereldorientatie.doc For syncing this file I do need the -s option, otherwise it breaks. Obviously this behavior is not consistent and breaking my script, if I want to restore my files. I have tons of debugging for this, if required I can send this on the list, but I think this small description might cover it as well. Can anybody say something usefull about it ?
