iDisk/ditto problem details

Ditto to my AFP share works fine.

But ditto to iDisk had a file name too long problem:

danwan% ditto -V -rsrcFork /Applications/BBEdit Lite 6.1 /Users/danwan/idisktemp/Documents/BB

>>> Copying /Applications/BBEdit Lite 6.1
copying file ./BBEdit Lite 6.1 ... /Users/danwan/idisktemp/Documents/BB/BBEdit Lite 6.1.__XXCOPIERXX__.810.0: File name too long
/Users/danwan/idisktemp/Documents/BB/BBEdit Lite 6.1: File name too long


So ditto-ing the whole folder to iDisk didn't work. But ditto-ing the OS9 and the OSX apps individually to iDisk did work:

danwan% cd /Applications/BBEdit Lite 6.1


danwan% ditto -V -rsrcFork BBEdit Lite 6.1 for OS 9 /Users/danwan/idisktemp/Documents/BBos9app
>>> Copying BBEdit Lite 6.1 for OS 9
copying file ./BBEdit Lite 6.1 for OS 9 ... 2409200 bytes

danwan% ditto -V -rsrcFork BBEdit Lite 6.1 /Users/danwan/idisktemp/Documents/BBosXapp
>>> Copying BBEdit Lite 6.1
copying file ./BBEdit Lite 6.1 ... 2268268 bytes
