I'm trying to rsync a file to a remote server. I have done this before to this specific server, not sure if I forgot the right command of if there is something else going on. This is my rsync command:
I tried this also:
sudo rsync -avz -e ssh user@remoteServer:/kunden/homepages/40/d205309670/htdocs/RetroCatalogs/ /Volumes/SystemHD/Retrospect?Catalogs/Weekly?Catalog?[088]
and got this:
receiving file list ... done
mkdir "/Volumes/SystemHD/Retrospect?Catalogs/Weekly?Catalog?[088]" failed: No such file or directory
rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(334)
I was wrong in that, but then I couldn't escape the spaces so I had to rename the source files and directory. This is not a solution. How do I escape the spaces I already tried " ", \, \\\, ?.
Sorry about the necro, but this thread is still top result for this error.
This error will also occur if you are calling rsync from within a directory that does not exist.
For example, if you cd into an external disk, then force unmount it, you cannot call rsync from that directory. cd to a directory which exists and rsync will run as expected.
