Seeing with comprehension - was [ rsync error -- "Protocol incompatibility" Why?]

Show all headers | View raw

Question 1
I tried to backup another partition.
The command I *THOUGHT* I gave was:

> rsync --verbose  --progress --stats --recursive --times --perms --links \ 
> /media/richard/jessie8-6-sda6/  /media/richard/backups/jessie8-6-sda6/

I got a similar error message to last time (i.e. 'file not found').
The problem was a non-printing character (space?) after the first line).
Is there a graphical editor which would high-lite that "something" is there?

Question 2.
When it ran I happened to be sitting by the display and noticed things 
of the form:
> 
> var/log/lightdm/x-2.log.old
>             963 100%    2.32kB/s    0:00:00 (xfr#88022, to-chk=21/128033)
> var/log/speech-dispatcher/
> var/mail/
> var/opt/
> var/spool/
> var/spool/mail -> ../mail
> var/spool/anacron/
> var/spool/anacron/cron.daily
>               9 100%    0.02kB/s    0:00:00 (xfr#88023, to-chk=14/128033)

Do the lines not followed by statistics just mean "0 length files" or 
"it's just a link"?

At the end it said:

37, special: 1)*

bytes/sec *

> root@debian-jan13:~#

The high-lited lines caught my attention.
I take the first two seem just to report that rsync is copying 
intelligently.

I don't understand what the third is telling me when there is a 
difference between bytes sent and received. I assume it is benign as the 
was no error reported.

TIA
