Hello,

I am trying to copy files from a Linux machine to Windows using rsync. I am=
 using rsync 3.0.7 and cygwin 1.7.5.

The source files on the linux machine are all owned by root:root with mode =
0755. When I copy them with the following command:

	rsync -clrtv --chmod=3Dugo=3DrwX rsync://<user>@linux/path/to/files /cygdr=
ive/d/path/to/destination

I get the files, but the user who performs the copy ends up with strange pe=
rmissions on them. There are two 'special' permissions entries, one with a =
list of denied permissions and the other with a list of permitted ones.

Denied permissions:
Traverse Folder / Execute File
List Folder / Read Data
Read Extended Attributes
Create Files / Write Data
Create Folders / Append Data
Write Extended Attributes

Allowed permissions:
Read Attributes
Write Attributes
Delete
Read Permissions
Write Permissions
Take Ownership

The result is that I can delete the files and change their permissions, but=
 I can't actually read them. I am confused about this because I think the -=
-chmod=3Dugo=3DrwX clause should leave the files readable.=20

What am I doing wrong?=20

Thanks,

-Will
