Those darned 'ol spaces in path/file names...

[Clay Goss]

Folks:

I am really struggling with the "spaces in the path/file name" thing.

Some stuff I have figured out - some I haven't.  Take this one:

Source:
	- PC with WindozeXP Pro
	- Cygwin (just updated)
	- Files in folder (from cygwin root)
		/bob smith/sally smith/
	- Using ssh to secure the link
	- Typical rsync command:
		rsync -e ssh -vazP <source path>
<user>@domainname.com:<destination path>

Destination:
	- FC3 (just updated)
	- Destination folder:
		/disk2/larry jones/bonnie jones/

Symptoms:
	- rsync on FC3 creates a directory named /disk2/larry/ and copies
the contents of /bob smith/sally smith/ into it.
	
Syntax tried:

rsync -e ssh -vazP '/bob smith/sally smith/'
<user>@domainname.com:'/disk2/larry jones/bonnie jones/'
rsync -e ssh -vazP "/bob smith/sally smith/"
<user>@domainname.com:"/disk2/larry jones/bonnie jones/"
rsync -e ssh -vazP /bob\ smith/sally\ smith/
<user>@domainname.com:/disk2/larry\ jones/bonnie\ jones/

And combinations using the left of one of the above and the right of the
other.

I have also tried an example using "echo <path stuff> | rsync..." but didn't
understand the author's intent and didn't get it to go either.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
