Hello, I am trying to copy files from a Linux machine to Windows using rsync. I am using rsync 3.0.7 and cygwin 1.7.5.
The source files on the linux machine are all owned by root:root with mode 0755. When I copy them with the following command: rsync -clrtv --chmod=ugo=rwX rsync://<user>@linux/path/to/files /cygdrive/d/path/to/destination I get the files, but the user who performs the copy ends up with strange permissions on them. There are two 'special' permissions entries, one with a list of denied permissions and the other with a list of permitted ones. Denied permissions: Traverse Folder / Execute File List Folder / Read Data Read Extended Attributes Create Files / Write Data Create Folders / Append Data Write Extended Attributes Allowed permissions: Read Attributes Write Attributes Delete Read Permissions Write Permissions Take Ownership The result is that I can delete the files and change their permissions, but I can't actually read them. I am confused about this because I think the --chmod=ugo=rwX clause should leave the files readable. What am I doing wrong?
