Dear Mr.Tim, Options used in rsync command in our system: rsync --verbose --recursive --update --delete --group --owner --times --perm
Eventhough i am using "-owner" option while synching to the mate system. The owner ship from the System A is not restored in the System B. ( System B is destination ). Why the ownership of System A is not restored in System B ? ( eg. ) file in system A : rwxr--r-- lakshmi comp a.c file in system B: becomes, rwxr--r-- nobody nobody a.c Is there any option to restore the permission ? thanks, Lakshmi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Glad you've got it going.
