I'm trying to use rsync to backup data from a local shared drive to a remove server. Both the local machine and the remote server are running Cygwin under Windows XP. I use the following command:
rsync -aze ssh --size-only --delete //SharedFolder/dir/subdir user@remoteserver:/cygdrive/c/dir
The problem is that instead of copying files to the subdir directory, a new directory is created called subdir?, where ? is a non-ascii character. I tried various combinations of / at the end of the destination or remote path, always with the same result.
How can I tell rsync not to create this weird new directory?
1What's the
?
character?echo subdir* | od -t x1
should reveal this. I suspect a stray CR (\x0d), but I don't know what would be causing that. – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' – 2011-11-24T21:06:52.680
