rsync fails when there's a space in the directory path

创建于 2022年12月20日 11:59

I'm trying to use Rsync to synchronize with a remote server. The rsync configuration says that the connection succeeds.

However, when I attempt to synchronize with the remote, I get the following error.

[12/20/2022 6:53 AM] Upload 'E:\projects\CMakeLists.txt' to '/home/user/CMakeLists.txt' using rsync
[12/20/2022 6:53 AM] "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\rsync.exe" -zar -e "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe -p 22 " --

This suggests that the executed command isn't getting quoted properly. It's also possible this is a bug in rsync itself.

Hello!

Could you please try adding --protect-args to Rsync options? Does it help?

That doesn't resolve the issue (see error below). The issue isn't with rsync's options, it's with how rsync is being called. It's strange because the test button calls rsync just fine. That suggests there's two different bits of code calling the program.

Your setup is quite specific. How did you add rsync to Git?

rsync comes with a standard install of Git for windows. My setup isn't that specific. I imagine there are many developers using this setup. Just not necessarily Clion.

As I mentioned, in the settings dialog the 'test" button returns a success. But when it comes time to synchronize to the remote server, the command fails.

I tried installing Git for Windows from https://git-scm.com/download/win, and I didn't get rsync.exe in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin. What am I missing?
What happens if you execute "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\rsync.exe" -zar -e "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe -p 22 " in console?

For me it looks like rsync itself is executed (thus the log has [12/21/2022 7:39 AM] rsync:), but can't properly handle "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe -p 22 ".

I ran into the same issue today. I've created a ticket and also posted a workaround there.

I'm surprised with how few people reported this (well, I somehow only ran into this first time myself…).
