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?).
