I've been struggling with rsync over ssh for a month.  I'm syncing files 
between windows boxes and I have rsync working except that its setting 
read only to the groups Administrators and Everyone.

Is there any way I can stop rsync or ssh setting permissions/ownership 
that wasn't already present in the originating files?  I've tried rsync 
-a... but thats not achieving what I want.

Matt.
