http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#WJFFM For testing I copied over the whole /usr directory from my Vista box to a Linux machine. I'm rather puzzled how setting permissions on the *remote* machine should be affected by the OS of the source machine. I guess we need much more information. Are the affected directories Cygwin-created directories or natively created dirs? Do they contain spaces or native characters? What are the local permissions on them (getfacl/cacls)? Does your Vista account have admin privileges? UAC switched on? If so, is rsync running normally with reduced privileges or "as administrator"? Is your remote Unix account root or non-root?
