Hi,
I've noticed a problem with rsync v2.5.5-1.
Take the following example:
$ rsync -e ssh --recursive --compress -v MS\ TS\ Client/ marky@kodiak:
~/rsynclink/MS\ TS\ Client
marky@kodiak's password:
building file list ... done
created directory /home/kluster/marky/rsynclink/MS
...
The problem here is that rsync should have used the directory
/home/kluster/marky/rsynclink/MS\ TS\ Client
This can be avoided by specifying the source directory name without the
"/" at the end and the next directory up for the destination. E.g.
$ rsync -e ssh --recursive --compress -v MS\ TS\ Client marky@kodiak:
~/rsynclink/
marky@kodiak's password:
building file list ... done
I hope that makes sense.
Cheers,
Mark
