Using 3.0.5 I can't send a file with ':' in its name in the current
directory without prefixing it with ./
delos% touch file:ext
delos% rsync -avP file:ext sylla:/home/ldm
The source and destination cannot both be remote.

delos:~% rsync -avP "file:ext" sylla:/home/ldm
The source and destination cannot both be remote.
