If you mean the server process invoked over remote shell, you could do something like this: rsync --rsync-path='rsync-and-fix-ogp' ... and write a script called rsync-and-fix-ogp on the destination: #!/bin/bash rsync "$@" && chmod/chown... If you mean an rsync daemon, you want the "post-xfer exec" configuration parameter; see the rsyncd.conf(5) man page. > I am moving files (python source) from windows (common > point of development) to a few linux machines. big problem being > owner/group/perms are always wrong and python's module install process is > fragile with respect to OGP.

You may be able to get the attributes right with some options to rsync rather than a separate script. Don't pass -o, -g, -p, or -a (which implies -ogp), and then: use the --chmod option or the daemon's "incoming chmod" parameter to fix the permissions, and run the receiver as the desired user and group or set the daemon's "uid" and "gid".
