I'm unable to get rsync to handle a particular directory which contains spaces within its name. Here's the command I run and the output: [jordan@archpc Program Files]$ rsync -rve 'ssh -p 2222' Steam archlap:/mnt/media/larissa-wine/drive_c/Program\ Files jordan@archlap's password: sending incremental file list created directory /mnt/media/larissa-wine/drive_c/Program Steam/ Steam/AppUpdateStats.blob Steam/CSERHelper.dll Steam/ClientRegistry.blob Steam/GameOverlayRenderer.dll Steam/GameOverlayRenderer.log Steam/GameOverlayUI.exe Steam/GameValidation.log Steam/Steam.dll Steam/Steam.exe Steam/SteamUI.dll Steam/SteamUI_1289.mst Steam/Steam_61.mst Steam/Support.url Steam/ThirdPartyLegalNotices.doc Steam/WriteMiniDump.exe Steam/dbghelp.dll Steam/mss32_s.dll Steam/steam.ico Steam/steam.log Steam/steam_1289_assert_2010_7_6T17_13_2C0.mdmp Steam/steam_1289_assert_2010_7_8T16_47_28C0.mdmp ^CKilled by signal 2. rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at rsync.c(543) [sender=3.0.7] I killed the program before it continued, It created a directory on the destinations with the name "Program" when it should have sync'd the Steam folder within the "Program Files" directory.
