Summary: network copy issues involving filenames ending with a
period
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.9
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have two macintoshes, one running 10.4 and the other running 10.5. I have
tested both the stock rsync 2.6.3 and the 2.6.9 versions from macports. The
problem is easily reproduced by trying to sync a directory which has a name
ending in a period. Performing a local rsync (same machine) results in no
problems. However when attempting to rsync from either mac to my linux server
(running rsync 2.6.9) the file names get changed. If, for instance, a
directory is named TEST_1. and it is rsyncd over the network, the resulting
filename created on the linux server becomes something like TBI9NE~4
The problem only happens when the file is being created on the linux server
(running gentoo 2007.0). When the file correctly renamed and sent back to the
macs, all is well.
If the file ending in a period is a file, rather than a directory, it is simply
not copied. No existence detected on the server.
I have searched the bugs here as well as on google and have not found anything
resembling this issue. Is this possibly a bug with rsync, or is it simply a
matter of neglecting the proper command line options. I was syncing with
rsync -av source [EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory
