Re: rsync and file ownership

For example:
$ CYGWIN=nontsec rsync -rtvz server::share /c/foo
You can set that variable in your cygrunsrv setup for the rsync daemon.
Thanks, I'd already read that in this group and it helped a lot! :)
The main problem remaining is just that its creating permissions that
didn't exist on the files prior to the copy. eg. If I do a network
copy (its my test environment, the real thing will be across the
internet) the files have the same permissions as they started with. If
I rsync them, Admin and Everyone only get read access. Thats what I
need to change. I'm running rsync over ssh from dos bat files. Its not
going to be interactive. I don't think I can chown or chmod the files
once copied (can that be done over ssh non-interactively?).
