Rsync with non-english characters in filenames?

[Fredrik Karlsson]

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. The server on which the files are stored is a
Debian Linux box.
The server I am migrating to is a Mac OS X server box. I have managed
to apply the iconv patch to the linux side of rsync, but it seems to
be more complicated on the mac.
