I'm trying to do a simple rsync: rsync -av [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/backup .
But a number of files in /backup are readable only by root, and hence rsync gives these errors: sync: send_files failed to open "/backup/etc/mail/virtusertable.db": Permission denied (13) Since root login is disabled, I can't simple do '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. I searched a bit and saw this: rsync -av --rsync-path='sudo path' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/backup . I tried it -- rsync asks for my password, but then doesn't output anything after many minutes (after which I kill it). So, how can I rsync files from my remote server so all the files are readable and the existing permissions get preserved (e.g. not having to do 'chmod -R a+r /backup'.
