Package: zsh Version: 4.3.5-4 Severity: normal Tags: patch If I have the following on host 'alpha':
/tmp/foo bar baz/foo
/tmp/foo bar baz/bar
/tmp/foo bar baz/baz
I can do this:
% rsync alpha:/tmp/foo<TAB>
--> % rsync alpha:/tmp/foo\\\ bar\\\ baz/
But I can't continue:
% rsync alpha:/tmp/foo\\\ bar\\\ baz/<TAB>
--> no response
Tracing this, I found that it ran a failing 'ls' via ssh, something akin
to this:
ssh -a -x alpha ls -d1FL "/tmp/foo bar baz/*"
This fails because the quoting only makes the argument appear as a
single argument to 'ssh'; when ssh passes the command to the remote
host, it comes out as trying to list three different files.
The solution is to double-quote the parameter, akin to this:
ssh -a -x alpha ls -d1FL "\"/tmp/foo bar baz/\"*"
I've attached a patch. I'm no zsh expert, so it needs review -- I
don't know if I've fixed one thing and broken another. But it does
seem to work for this situation.
