Do you mean the origin has 644 files and the destination has 000 file permissions? Also as you're not using -p the destination file permission are not copied from the origin ones: When this option is off, permissions are set as follows: o Existing files (including updated files) retain their existing permissions, though the −−executability option might change just the execute permission for the file. o New files get their “normal” permission bits set to the source file’s permissions masked with the receiving directory’s default permissions (either the receiving process’s umask, or the permissions specified via the destination directory’s default ACL), and their special permission bits disabled except in the case where a new directory inherits a setgid bit from its parent directory. -- Lapo Luchini - http://lapo.it/ -- 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/
