I can't duplicate that. What version of rsync is running on each machine? Did you simplify/change the command you quoted above? ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

If "read only" is true then any attempted uploads will fail. If "read only" is false then uploads will be possible if file permissions on the server allow them. The default is for all modules to be read only.

Add a line read only = false to the w1 module definition and it should work. However, you may also need to take a look at the uid description in the same man page, in case it still doesn't work...
