Dear readers, Does anyone know how I can keep the file permissions on the destination side when I sync? This is what I have done so far. In /etc/rsyncd.conf on the server have I: ------------------------------------------------------- log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock [server] path = / uid = root gid = root read only = yes list = no auth users = root hosts allow = 172.20.10.0 secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt ------------------------------------------------------- When I want to copy everything from the server to my onw computer, I write: rsync -avH --delete --delete-excluded --exclude-from=/home/louise/.rsync-exclude-server root@172.20.0.1::server /home/louise/backup So my question is; How I get rsync to keep the file permissions on the destination side? =) Hugs, Louise
