rsync - Apr 2006 - What permissions does a file take if -p is not set?

Hiya

if the rsync options -pgo (preserve perms, group perms, owner perms) are
not set, from where does rsync attain the file permissions?

Will it just take the default ones from the server?

Also, what is the difference between -p  and -g or -o ?

Thanks
Hamish

This was improved in the 2.6.7 manpage, which is available online (link
below).  Just look for the section on "-p, --perms", and it will
explain
how permissions get set both with and without this option.

The descriptions of -g and -o are being improved for the 2.6.8 release,
which you can read at this URL:
