Subject: rsync completion not working for server files when using double quotes
Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 08:41:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <sympa.1631002395.31566.639@zsh.org> (raw)
Hello,
I hope I’m at the right place to submit that problem.
I use zsh completion to navigate through rsync server directory hierarchy.
I’ve just discovered brace expansion {start..end} and for it to work, I need
to double quotes the server path:
noglob rsync -rlP "server:folder/file{01..03}" .
will download the files file01, file02, and file03 from folder.
My problem is: completion (=tab=>) is working for folders but not files (if
there are no folders) when using double quotes:
noglob rsync -rlP "server:fo =tab=> noglob rsync -rlP "server:folder/
but
noglob rsync -rlP "server:folder/fi =tab=>
will not complete the filename or display a list when using tab twice.
I first opened a question on stackoverflow about it:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69073426/rsync-server-autocompletion-not-working-for-files-when-using-double-quotes-on-zs
If someone can help me, maybe just by providing a workaround.
Using the completion before adding the quotes could work but is tedious when
some names need escaping:
noglob rsync -rlP server:folder\\\ with\\\ spaces/file{01..03} .
noglob rsync -rlP "server:folder\\ with\\ spaces/file{01..03}" .
Looking forward to reading you,
Regards,
Mathieu
