no. > I tried the following > > Laptop1 to disk: disk is mounted with uid=1000 > rysnc -auvzx /home/oub/dir /media/disk/oub (id=1000) that will copy all files with id=1000 - that's not what I suggested. I wrote the way to copy the files with id=1002 onto the USB disk by ssh-ing into localhost with a user which has id 1002. BTW: Why do you need it on the USB drive? I.e. why don't you directly rsync from Laptop1 to Laptop2? Bye, Berny -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
