Latest versions of cygwin - Paths with spaces

Latest versions of cygwin - Paths with spaces

[Giovani Erthal]

I'm using rsync to perform backups. But I have errors in paths with spaces.

Source: C:\Users\giova\Downloads\Teste com espaço
Destination: C:\Users\giova\Downloads\Destino com espaço

Command:

rsync.exe -avz -s --no-perms --no-owner --no-group --chmod=ugo=rw /cygdrive/C/Users/giova/Downloads/Teste" "com" "Espaço /cygdrive/C/Users/giova/Downloads/Destino" "com" "espaço

Result:

sending incremental file list
rsync: link_stat "/cygdrive/C/Users/giova/Downloads/Teste" "com" "Espaço" failed: No such file or directory (2)

sent 18 bytes  received 12 bytes  60.00 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(1178) [sender=3.1.2]

Initially I was using cwrsync 6.2.4 (it has the same problem). Using cwrsync 5.5.0 everything works perfectly.

Now I downloaded cygwin and installed rsync (latest version), but the problem is the same.

How to make this work without using an old version of cygwin?

Wrong space quoting. Try:

rsync.exe -avz -s --no-perms --no-owner --no-group --chmod=ugo=rw "/cygdrive/C/Users/giova/Downloads/Teste com Espaço" "/cygdrive/C/Users/giova/Downloads/Destino com espaço"

André's quoting is unusual, but it's not wrong.

For example:

    $ cat foo
    #!/bin/bash
    for word in "$@"
    do
        echo "$word"
    done

    $ ./foo one two" "three four
    one
    two three
    four

However, I've always seen the C: drive under /cygdrive as
/cygdrive/c, with a lower-case c.

Gary

What shell are you using and what OS is handling command processing?
For CMD and Windows, you must to double quote the whole path.
For bash and Cygwin, you may use any of the accepted methods: \ , " ",
' ', although it is much more normal, if quoting, to quote the complete 
path, or only backslash quote the spaces and other special characters.
Drive case should make no difference as long as case is ignored on lookup.

I'm using the windows terminal.

Using lowercase for the drive and double quotes between the path produces a different error.

rsync.exe -avz -s --no-perms --no-owner --no-group --chmod=ugo=rw "/cygdrive/c/Users/giova/Downloads/Teste com Espaço" "/cygdrive/c/Users/giova/Downloads/Destino com espaço"

sending incremental file list
rsync: [sender] change_dir "/cygdrive/c/Users/giova/"/cygdrive/c/Users/giova/Downloads" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync: [Receiver] change_dir#3 "/cygdrive/c/Users/giova/"/cygdrive/c/Users/giova/Downloads" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at main.c(822) [Receiver=3.2.4dev]

How to make this work without using an old version of cygwin?

So you call cygwin rsync directly from the Windows cmd or powershell? 
That is asking for trouble, especially if quoting is involved. You 
should call rsync from a cygwin shell.
