I just realized I pasted the wrong command line. I am not using the -av option. I took that out a while ago.
C:\Downloads\rsync\rsync.exe -i --password-file= C:\Backend\rsync \password.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]::scores/filename /Backend/VendorFiles/ If I want to add --chmod=ugo=rwX, is the following correct?

You are passing -a, which includes -p, which tells rsync to preserve permissions. You can override this by passing --no-p to the right of -a on the command line. You may additionally need --chmod=ugo=rwX to allow permissions to increase from source to destination. IMO, too many of the rsync examples in the man page and on the Internet promote -a as a one-size-fits-all option. I use the "adopt destination permissions and ownership but preserve everything else" combination, -rltE --chmod=ugo=rwX, much more often; I think it should be similarly promoted.
