Basically this works (highly similar to for example a rsync between Windows and Unix). BUT... I never ever get the correct permissions on files and folders on the destination. I tried --permission, -owner, -group, etc. but it never works in a way that the destination is a mirror of the source. Now with the very newest Cygwin rsync version there's finally a port of the GNU rsync's --acls parameter. It reads like it would do exactly what many need, but again I don't get it right..... How do you get the access rights on the (NTFS) destination to be the same as the (NTFS) source ones? -Richard -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
