I am experiencing a very strange issue when I sync up my FreeBSD file

again, very wierd. I can use the --no-p flag to keep it from copying
these perms over to the FreeBSD box.
Thanks,
Hi Chris.
I don't have any experience of rsync, having been scared off it by every
internet article and book ever written. I can suggest some alternatives
though, if no one can help you out.
Have you tried scp? IIRC that does something similar. There's probably a
free Windows version. FileZilla does SFTP, so if you have a SSH daemon
on your file server you could get files that way. How about Bacula, a
very good backup system which has Windows clients? One thing I don't
recommend is Samba, which IMO is horrible to configure and doesn't
preserve file attributes.
NFS is good too, but I haven't been able to find a decent free client.
Unix Services for Windows almost trashed my entire XP partition. I'm not
trying that again, and I spent ages downloading it too. :/
HtH,
Adam J Richardson
