Hello I have setup a mirror script on our network, and I have some problem to preserve ownership of the files transferred. This problem is causing me a bit of headache as this file transfer is for some production file, where if there is not the right permission/ownership the program crashes, and it keep crashing. I am overcoming the problem by defining manually the ownership as 'Administrator' once the files are transferred. I have two Window client/server, setup as follow: both machine with RSYNC, setup as service, with LogOnAs, "rsync" setup on each machine (NO domain user) Allowed 'rsync' on fullpermissions on both machine, under the path defined. (receiver under destination path) A) Windows 2003 STD server Rsync server (Sender) rsync.conf: use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow = * log file = rsyncd.log [test] path = /cygdrive/c/test read only = false transfer logging = yes script: rsync.exe -aruphtz --stats --delete-after --log-file=/cygdrive/d/tclsys/log/rsync/up_cnc_chch.log /cygdrive/d/CNC/CPHANTOMATIC/CAM/LDA/ rsync at 192.168.5.15::up_cnc/phantomatic/cam/lda B) Windows XP PRO Rsync server (Receiver) rsync.conf: use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow = * log file = rsyncd.log [up_cnc] path = /cygdrive/d/data/cncmachines read only = false transfer logging = yes log file = /cygdrive/d/tclsys/logs/rsync/up_cnc.log I have tried to use CYGWIN=nontsec CYGWIN=ntsec 'rsync.exe -aruphtz' 'rsync.exe -arupoghtz' 'rsync.exe -arpEuhtz' 'rsync.exe -arupoghtz' but I still have some problem to have the same owner. Please help me to resolve this issue or misconfiguration.
