Control characters

Luis · May 26, 2019, 9:34pm

Hello, I'm trying to synchronize a folder and it gives me "Can't store
file with control characters"
Try the exclusions but always give the error.
I also could not find those files in the path indicated in the error.

We are working on a way of fixing this in this pull request.

The problem character is 0x7F so you should be able to ignore files with that in like this --exclude '*[\x7F]*'

Thanks for answering me. I made the change but the message continues

rclone -v sync "c:\adjtactica" dpbxL:Bkps\Plw\adjtactica --exclud
e '[\x7F]'

Sorry, didn't realise you were on Windows. Replace the ' with " and I think it will work, so

--exclude "*[\x7F]*"

Luis · May 27, 2019, 3:37pm

I tried, but the message is the same

Can you run with -vv --dump filters and post the result please?

Here is the output. Thanks

It looks like it isn't possible to ignore this with a filter since this message is generated by the local backend

However we will fix this properly soon!

Thanks for answering me.
I will wait.

Not a big Windows guy, but how do control characters get in there to begin with?

Luis · May 29, 2019, 5:57pm

I dont know. I m in charge of backup it
I know windows is not the best one
