Syncing local directories with spaces in their names

Open janlimpens opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

I want to keep directories in sync, which both reside on my system, so I don't need ssh. I don't know if this makes a difference for this scenario, but at least for completeness' sake.

So, when I set up bitpocket with just a path, it works nicely, as long as this path has no spaces in it. If there are spaces, however, it drops the last chunk of the path and can't complete its mission

For instance, I set up

bitpocket init "/media/newhome/sync test/"
bitpocket sync
rsync: [sender] link_stat "/media/newhome/sync" failed: No such file or directory (2)

Is there a workaround?

Escaping the space with a backslash doesn't help. I tried that already.

I think this may have been fixed in #85?

Seems so - I did not have time to test it, but it looks as if it should.
