Re: rsync error... can i ask for help here??

[bruce <badouglas@xxxxxxxxx>]

wow....

now. I'm officially in the twilight zone...

here's what i'm seeing...

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat/     test@192.168.125.133:/home/test/cat
test@192.168.125.133's password:
sending incremental file list
./
index.html
readme.txt
contactform/

as you can see.. the cmd above works..

this cmd doesn't!

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat/  test@192.168.125.133:/home/test/cat
test@192.168.125.133's password:
sending incremental file list
rsync: change_dir "/home/crawl_user/cat/ /home/test/cat" failed: No such file or directory (2)

i've lined up the cmd that works with a cmd that doesn't.. and added spaces between the initial dir and the "test,," to get the same "look"...

when i run the cmd that doesn't work.. it still doesn't work...

I'm wondering if there's some weird char being inserted..

Hey John...

Yep. I've noticed that.. And been trying to figure out ust what the dang err is trying to tell me... since I only had the initial dir!

However,, Since I tested what Francis asked me to test... I'm now able to have the rsync working...

And I don't know what the diff is between the cmds..

As far as I can tell, the cmds are the same!

rsync -avz  /home/test/cat/     test@192.168.125.133:/home/test/cat

this works, in that the files of /home/test/cat (dir) get copied over to the /home/test/cat dir on the remote side..

this is what i've done 100s of times in the past with other systems.. files.. etc..

no clue what my issue was.. which means I can't solve the issue!! which is in and off itself a pain now!

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but did you see this?

rsync will return a directory in quotes there.  Its saying the
directory named explicitly '/home/test/cat/ /home/test' (yes, a space
between /cat/ and /home) is missing.

Now, I'm not seeing that in the rsync command pasted, but rsync seems
to think that's the directory you're asking to sync.  If this was
pre-1990 I'd guess it's a terminal overwrite with weird control
characters due to a noisy modem but I'm assuming that Bruce has
something newer than a vt102.

The only way I'm able to get similar results is by including the space
in the right side of the rsync command.

$ rsync -avz '/tmp/foo /tmp/bar' myhost:/tmp/test
sending incremental file list
rsync: change_dir "/tmp/foo /tmp" failed: No such file or directory (2)

sent 20 bytes  received 12 bytes  64.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00
rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1189) [sender=3.1.3]
