Hi everyone

I download the Android source in one computer(Ubuntu OS) and the copy all the files to another computer(Ubuntu OS too). When I use the command "repo sync" in the new computer, the console show me some error as below. Can you help me to solve this problem, thank you very much.

Looks like the copy is incomplete or damaged the files under the .repo/ directory. I would copy it again and make sure you get everything. What tool did you use to copy the files? Most UNIX tools are 8 bit clean and should not damage the binary files under .repo/.

Hi Shawn,

Thank you for you respond. I use a usb flash disk(NTFS format) to copy the file.

Today I package and copy it, the problem is solved. Thank you very much.
