rsync - Oct 2006 - UID on destination system

Can some tell me if there is a way to change the uid of  files transferred.

Example  on source the system "appltest (uid 100)" owns all the files
I want to transfer but on the other system I want "applpatch (uid101)"
to own them?


Thanks

The only way at present is to login as that user on the destination
system:

rsync -av /src/ applpatch@host:/dest/

sudo -u applpatch rsync -av appltest@host:/src/ /dest/

rsync -av --rsync-path='sudo -u appltest rsync' /src/ host:/dest/

Things like that.

It the future, it might be nice to have some way to add custom mappings.
The code already creates a name-to-number mapping for the receiver.  It
should be easy to pre-load the mapper based on a simple input file.
