[PROBLEM]
Tried to copy and rename a bunch of files using rsync (as usual ;)). One file threw an uncomfortable error:
ERROR: RSYNC returned with error code #2
According to rsync's man-page, this means:
EXIT VALUES
2 Protocol incompatibility
Hm... :?

[SOLUTION]
The file had a classic "Someone used MS Word" quote-characters in it:

Code: Select all

„ “
I've replaced the illegal characters with a normal double-quote (") - and everything was fine.

:D
