I use rsync all the time with Cygwin and don't have problems with permissions, because I set "nontsec" in the CYGWIN environment variable as necessary when I want the Windows permissions to be used. For example, if I'm copying from a remote server to my local server, I'd do this: % CYGWIN=nontsec rsync -r remote:/path . If I'm copying to a remote Cygwin box and I want to use the default permissions on the remote box, I use this: % rsync -r --rsync-path="CYGWIN=nontsec rsync" ./ remote:/path > The "-perms" (-p) option I don't use. Another option that can be useful is the --chmod option in rsync. I use this with --perms when I'm copying from a Cygwin box to a unix box. (You don't want to use "nontsec" if you use this.) -- David Rothenberger ---- daveroth@acm.org Bennett's Laws of Horticulture: (1) Houses are for people to live in.
