rsync, windows/cygwin and special characters in filenames

[Ville Mattila]

Hello,

I'm using cygwin and rsync in my windows-equipped laptop to synchronize 
work and other documents between my file server (Linux RH 9) and laptop. 
As I'm Finnish, many of the transferred files have special characters 
å,ä,ö (A-umlaut etc) in the filenames.

I noticed that when the files are synced from the server to my windows 
box, the rsync translates the special characters to quotes. This is a 
little bit problematic as there may be depencies and links between the 
files.

Does anyone has an idea how this could be solved?

Thank you,
Ville Mattila
