well, because of me thinking about this fire stuff I thought I should back up my system but I get an error: bmike1@MikesBeast ~ $ rsync -aWuq --delete-before /home/bmike1/Documents /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk rsync: mkstemp "/media/bmike1/RedSanDisk/Documents/Business/Photography/ PropertyPhotographing/PrivateClients/Carmen Bongiovani/2016/20160728/.11 Wedgewood Ln,\#012Palm Coast, FL 32164.54RzTX" failed: Invalid argument (22) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1183) [sender=3.1.0] bmike1@MikesBeast ~ $ So I use the gui to copy the file that won't copy which results in the 'invalid file name'. Before I tried to copy it I looked for the offending file in the originating directory but it is not there: bmike1@MikesBeast ~/Documents/Business/Photography/PropertyPhotographing/PrivateClients/Carmen Bongiovani/2016/20160728 $ ls -a . .. 11 Wedgewood Ln,?Palm Coast, FL 32164 jpg jpg2 Raw Working Working2 and I looked for it in the destination directory: bmike1@MikesBeast /media/bmike1/RedSanDisk/Documents/Business/Photography/ PropertyPhotographing/PrivateClients/Carmen Bongiovani/2016/20160728 $ ls -a . .. jpg jpg2 Raw Working Working2 I'm so pleased with myself! I noticed the forward slash and the #012 and I figured I had pressed while naming the file (must be the line feed character) and that #012 is the ascii character for a space so I went into the file manager and deleted that portion and it copies fine now. It is so exciting when I figure things out for my self -- :-)~MIKE~(-:
