I want to mirror a web tree with rsync over ssh. I set up a module on my rsync server and on the rsync client, I use the options -o and -p in order to preserve ownership et permissions. The file are transffered via rsync but on the rsync server the files are owned by the user used to connect with ssh. I tried to find some docs but I found nothing and the man page is not clear for me : -- perms ==> root only what does that mean exactly ? I hope some one will be able to help me :) Thank you for your answers Best regards, ptitoliv -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
