Is there a rsync client/server for mac ? and if so, what does it do when i move
files from mac to linux if the filenames arnt something my linuxmachine likes ? i
already have that problem no when i use a program link syncfolders on mac to my
appleshare that files containing / \ * # : and so on, arnt usable anymore (and yes
i know i should tell our macusers not to do that but i'm already telling them for
over a year and they still are using those filenames .. :(( )
so to resume, is there a rsync client and or server for mac and what does it do
with those file(names)
