Do you? When I use it for a RSYNC between a Windows NTFS hard drive and a NTFS USB drive, I get the following error message: ---- sending incremental file list recv_acl_access: value out of range: ff rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.4-1/src /rsync-3.0.4/acls.c(670) [receiver=3.0.4] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (9 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at /home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.4-1/src /rsync-3.0.4/io.c(632) [sender=3.0.4] ---- Also, using "--permission", or "-owner", or "-group" as kind of alternatives doesn't have any effect for all my tests. Are these four parameters usable on Windows with Cygwin & RSYNC ?
