rsync - Feb 2007 - owner and group

Hello,

I am trying to copy, on the same server, a set of files. I need to
copy them every day with a cron job.

This is working fine the only problem is that he always changes the
owner and group to the root user.

Is there a possibility that he uses the user of the remote files and
not the root user ?

rsync --archive --exclude ".htaccess" /home/virtual/site5/fst/var/www/
html/ /home/virtual/site10/fst/var/www/html/aaa/

Thanks,

Hans Mignon

-a gets several options you probably want  (in particular -o and -g)
(from man rsync)
        -a, --archive               archive mode, equivalent to -rlptgoD

        -r, --recursive             recurse into directories
        -l, --links                 copy symlinks as symlinks
        -p, --perms                 preserve permissions
        -o, --owner                 preserve owner (root only)
        -g, --group                 preserve group
        -D, --devices               preserve devices (root only)
        -t, --times                 preserve times

-a is an alias for --archive, which is what Hans is using according to
his message.
