Hello,

this has been asked befor though but since searching the net always tells me it should work but not when I try to do it .. I'll ask again.

what I want to do is:
 - copy keep ownership and permission when I rsync a file or directory

what I get is:
- I have a user on both machines who is in wheel (this should make it possible to do this) - when I $sudo rsync -a /some/random/file me@remotemachine:/tmp I get the file synced
    - file has owner someone:someone and 0600
 - when I check the permission and owner on the remote machine
    - file has owner me:wheel and 0644

what I can do but dont want to:
 - I can enable root ssh access
- I rsync as root and the owner and permission gets copied even the user doesnt exist on the remote machine

Is there any other thing I miss with the sudo  approach?

Regards
