Are the files on NTFS?I am attempting to use rsync to "mirror" data between several windows 2000 and windows XP systems. I am a UNIX person by nature, so decided the easiest way to go about doing this would be to use Cygwin with cron and ssh running as services, then run the rsync connection nightly through cron.
Cygwin is installed on both systems and works perfectly. OpenSSH is
installed and running, and the rsync user we created is able to ssh using
password-less keys between the 2 systems. When I run rsync, it correctly
pulls the data down that I want. The problem is that there are NO
permissions on the files that are pulled down, so they are basically
inaccessable.
I have tried with and without the -p option, hoping the files would inherit parent directory permissions if I didn't use it, but it doesn't appear to do so. The command as I run it is;
rsync -rlztpv --rsh=ssh --delete remote-fs:/path/to/the/files . or rsync -rlztv --rsh=ssh --delete remote-fs:/path/to/the/files .
With the "p" option included, there are no permission bits set on the files whatsover. Without the "p" option, it sets the files to 0200.
Any ideas here? Both systems have the Domain groups in the groups file, and have the rsync user as well as local users in the passwd file. I would prefer to not have to have ALL domain users in the password file for cygwin if possible.
I have also tried this from a DOS shell instead of a cygwin shell with the same results..
Thanks in advance...
Can you give some more detail about the CygWin installation?
Whetherver you use ntsec, release number of cygwin and rsync... (to include al this you can attach the output of 'cygcheck -s')
BTW: latest packages are cygwin-1.3.22-1 (which afair defaults to ntsec) and rsync-2.5.6-1
