I did "man rsync" in console mode and stumbled across some illegal
characters in the following part:
----------------------------------------------
rsync -avz foo:src/bar/ /data/tmp
a trailing slash on the source changes this behavior to
transfer all files from the directory src/bar on the
machine foo into the /data/tmp/. A trailing / on a source
name means "copy the contents of this directory". Without
a trailing slash it means "copy the directory". This dif-
ference becomes particularly important when using the
--delete option.
You can also use rsync in local-only mode, where both the
source and destination don�t have a �:� in the name. In
this case it behaves like an improved copy command.
rsync somehost.mydomain.com::
----------------------------------------------
The � (MacOS=ALT Y) shows on Linux as small square. I'm using the
sg-latin1.kmap on a i386. Does anybody has a solution?
