I don't think I can chown or chmod the files once copied (can that be done over ssh non-interactively?). It can, pretty easily. assuming pubkey withought passphrase (otherwise maybe have a read on expect) ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] chmod -options /path/to/files (anything after the [EMAIL PROTECTED] part is treated as a command to be executed non interactively on the remote host as the specified user, see man ssh for details) Vince Matt. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Re: rsync and file ownership
Don't use the -a option if you don't want to preserve the permissions. From the man page: -a, --archive archive mode, equivalent to -rlptgoD And now a breakdown of each option from the man page (you can use what you need then) -r, --recursive recurse into directories -l, --links copy symlinks as symlinks -p, --perms preserve permissions -t, --times preserve times -g, --group preserve group -o, --owner preserve owner (root only) -D, --devices preserve devices (root only) HTH.
