Description Martin Simon 2011-08-29 13:23:40 UTC

Description of problem:
tsclient can't export connection to file with space or # in name. It can't import from file with space or # neither. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tsclient-2.0.2-7.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start tsclient from terminal (you will see runtime messages/commands)
2. import/export any connection to file with space or # in name
3.
  
Actual results:
tsclient doesn't tell anything if he succeed or not, but in terminal you can see tar error messages

Expected results:
connection is imported/exported successfully without any error messages

Additional info:
it looks like bad integration with tar, maybe missing quotes in tar command
tar version: tar-1.23-3.el6.x86_64

exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an

Indeed, there are missing quotes...

g_string_append_printf (cmdline, "tar cfz %s --directory %s --remove-files ", absfile, export_dir);

cmdline = g_strdup_printf ("tar xfz %s -C %s", absfile, import_dir_path);
