I like to use meld to copy file but meld does now preserve ownership of

file that are newer then certain date ?

I was trying to use:
find /home/myuser/oldir/* -mtime -60 -exec cp {} /home/myuser/newdir/ \;

but cp does not preserve file ownership either.

I was planning on copying hylafax-files (faxes) from one server to another
and most of those files have ownership "uucp:60002 or "uucp:uucp"

From "man cp":
...

      -p     same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps

      --preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
             preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,
             timestamps), if possible additional attributes: context,
             links, xattr, all


Might I suggest a pattern here? ;-)
