Trouble with spaces in the startdir path and source folder

[jasonkotecki]

I am trying to copy a folder that has spaces in the name as well as the startdir path to the source folder. Maybe I just have the syntax wrong, but I have tried several different ways with no luck. Below is the detail of my paths and the fpart log.

[root@cifsgw Sarah confocal]# pwd
/pri/projects/pi_lab/People and projects/Sarah/Sarah confocal

[root@cifsgw Sarah confocal]# parsyncfp --NP=4 -startdir='/pri/projects/pi_lab/People and projects/Sarah/Sarah confocal' 'AAV LPS IL4' /sec/projects/pi_lab/People\ and\ projects/Sarah/Sarah\ confocal/

[root@cifsgw Sarah confocal]# cat /root/.parsyncfp/fpcache/fpart.log.14.39.20_2020-10-27

Since you're specifying it from the command line, you'll have to quote the startdir. Harry [after AI & autocorrect, I take no responsibility for this content]

I did use a single quote. I just tried again with double quotes with the same result.

parsyncfp --NP=4 --startdir="/pri/projects/pi_lab/People and projects/Sarah/Sarah confocal/" "AAV LPS IL4" "/sec/projects/pi_lab/People and projects/Sarah/Sarah confocal/"

Sorry, I'm an idiot - you gave the example correctly. Slightly distracted by the Irvine fire. I'll check the internals of this asap. Harry

OK - seemed to be a problem with feeding fpart the correctly quoted names. I think this is now fixed. It will now take a quoted or unquoted dirs/files. ie either: pfp --NP=4 --rsyncopts='-azs' --chunk=100M 'ogg music files' <target> or pfp --NP=4 --rsyncopts='-azs' --chunk=100M ogg\ music\ files/ <target> (above was tab-completed from the commandline - ogg<tab>) or mixed: pfp --NP=4 --rsyncopts='-azs' --chunk=100M \ --startdir=ogg\ music\ files/ 'KT Tunstall' \ 'The Derek Trucks Band' <target> Just pushed the patch to github. Thanks for the bug report. Much obliged. Harry On Tue, Oct 27, 2020 at 12:45 PM Harry Mangalam <[e-mail]> wrote:

Hi Jason, Thanks for your continued perseverance. I've changed the way pfp checks for external utilities and it'll continue with a WARN if you don't have the IB or WiFi utils. Pushed to github as version 1.71. Harry

Harry, thank you for making that change. More importantly, thank you for making such a great script/tool for copying large datasets. Working for a life sciences research organization, I utilize it greatly.

Thanks for that note. The movement of bio data sets was one of the drivers for my starting the project. I was a biologist before I went over to the dark side. H [after AI & autocorrect, I take no responsibility for this content]
