Re: [Duplicity-talk] ftp and short filenames prob

Yeah, I've tried it both ways.  Interestingly enough, I'm pretty-sure I installed from the RPM on the duplicity homepage, yet a --version shows 0.4.2 (even though the package name is 0.4.9).  Is it possible that RPM never got rebuilt properly?
 
I'll try re-installing from tarball.

AJ,
 
The --verify tells me you are running an older version of duplicity, or
trying to run with the older commandline syntax.  The newer syntax
separates commands and options clearly, making the command the first
argument and leaving off the '--'.  The newest version is 0.4.9 and I
would suggest upgrading to that if at all possible.  There have been
many improvements over the last several months.
 
Due to the way this NAS device works, it might be better to use the
--short-filenames option.  This would give you Windows compatible
filenames that would not be munged by the SMB share.
