Hi all! We're using cwrsync server 2.0.4 on winxp to keep files up to date between some operator machines.
Whenever I run rsync to send files to another machine, the read-only flag gets set. The cwrsync user was created (the install is completely standard)... so I'm thinking it might have something to do with that. Here's my rsyncd.conf: use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow = * log file = rsyncd.log pid file = rsyncd.pid [crystal_windows] path=/stuff/windows read only=false comment=some stuff When I run the following command from my laptop: rsync -vzrLpogtu /stuff/windows/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]::crystal_windows It sets *ALL* the files in the /stuff/windows folder on the remote machine to read-only. This is a big problem because it means that when an operator goes to edit a file in the windows folder with a program, he has to first make the file not read only. Is it possible to change the cwrsync configuration so that it runs as the same user that the operator logs in as? I'm thinking that for some reason windows is getting confused and setting the ownership to the cwrsync user and that's why the operator user sees the file as read-only. Because the operator is an administrator, the read-only can be turned off, but every time rsync touches the folder it seems to reset all the permissions settings.
