Hi,
is there any idea why you loose characters like åäö when doing rsync from Linux? Booting from a windows partition and do it from there (cwrsync) works fine?

What do you mean you lose characters? The filenames that you have rsynced have these characters missing?

Hi,
If I start from the windows partition and use CWRsync to a debian server, everything is working fine, but if starting the Ubuntu 6.06 OS and use the same rsync parameters, source and target, for example:

rsync -rav -e "ssh -i $HOME/ssh-keys/xxxx_id_rsa" --progress --port=22 /disk_D/Backup/ xxx@192.168.x.x:/storage/xxxxxx/rsync_pc/backup/

All files and directories lose the special characters if runing the rsync command from the linux os. For example directory "Gå och Köp fisk" will be renamed to "G? och K?p fisk" on the target server.

Have also tried to move the source files from a fat32 partition to a EXT3 but same results. Is there any language options to set in Linux? The files look sokay in the terminal etc.

Thanks in advance!

I've had similar sounding problems in Gentoo with filenames and ogg tags, but have never got to the bottom of what's causing it.
