rsync on cygwin, some directories are erroring with Permission denied
Hi, I have rsync set up to sync between two hard drives on the same Windows PC. I have a concern the results of the following rsync command: "c:\cygwin\bin\rsync.exe" --log-file=080725.pcsync.log --recursive --archive --modify-window=2 --update --backup /cygdrive/f/images/ /cygdrive/i/images/ This results in: rsync: failed to set permissions on "/cygdrive/i/images/.": Permission denied (13) rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at /home/lapo/packaging/tmp/rsync-2.6.9/main.c(977) [sender=2.6.9] It's weird that it throws up an error in the . local directory, it seems odd that it's even syncing the . local directory. Does anybody have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to stop this error. Thanks in advance. Richard. _________________________________________________________________ Find the best and worst places on the planet http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/101719807/direct/01/ -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
