It seems that even if -p (or -a, etc) are not used, permissions are still
propagated from client to server, though not updated. I was a bit surprised
since the option is preserve permissions, and permissions were preserved on
the initial copy even without -p.
[ I am trying to rsync from Windows 7/Cygwin to (linux/unix). Windows 7/Cygwin
is mapping ACL-style permissions (and I didn't have full control), and yielded
mode=0, which was propagated to the client. Adding full control and a passwd
entry yielded u+rwx, so that problem is solved. ]
Ex:
$ mkdir a
$ touch a/test
$ chmod go= a/test
$ rsync -r a/ b/
$ ls -l a/test b/test
-rw--- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:03 a/test
-rw--- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:03 b/test# permissions
were copied from a/test to b/test
$ chmod go+r a/test
$ rsync -r a/ b/
$ ls -l a/test b/test
-rw-r--r-- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:03 a/test
-rw--- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:04 b/test# without -p,
no change
$ rsync -rp a/ b/
$ ls -l a/test b/test
-rw-r--r-- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:03 a/test
-rw-r--r-- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:04 b/test# with -p,
permissions were pushed
$ chmod go= a/test
$ rsync -r a/ b/
$ ls -la a/test b/test
-rw--- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:03 a/test
-rw-r--r-- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:04 b/test # not copied
$ rm b/test
$ rsync -r a/ b/
$ ls -la a/test b/test
-rw--- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:03 a/test
-rw--- 1 vallonj vallonj0 Aug 13 15:04 b/test # propagated
upon create
$ rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30
