Hey, So I ran this command:
C:\Program Files\cwRsyncServer\bin>xcacls c:\cv7 /T /E /G Administrators:F But it doesn't seem to have fixed my problem. It processed all the files/folders. I right clicked /stuff and made sure read-only was unchecked. I then went to my laptop (WinXP): "\Program Files\cwRsyncServer\bin\rsync.exe" -vzrLpogtu /cv7/windows/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]::crystal_windows building file list ... done ./ sent 3361 bytes received 844 bytes 94.49 bytes/sec total size is 1905087 speedup is 453.05 Then I went back to the UI computer and right clicked a file in c:\cv7\windows\ and the properties had been reset to read-only!! Any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Tevfik Karagülle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 5:35 PM To: 'Erik Jacobs' Cc: rsync@lists.samba.org Subject: RE: cwrsync server 2.0.4 / winxp / ownership problems? Hi Erik, Since cwrsync contains some windows-specific arrangements not directly related to rsync itself, I've established a cwrsync discussion forum half a year ago. It is available at http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php?module=phpwsbb&PHPWSBB_MAN_OP=viewforum &PHPWS_MAN_ITEMS=1 . You may consider to post your problem at this forum as well. Back to your problem: By default, cwrsync is configured to not to map unix permissions to windows equivalents (env.variable CYGWIN=nontsec). In other words, what you set as windows permissions on your directories will not be disturbed by cwrsync. If you want to give your admins write permissions on /stuff/windows, you may simply run the command below only once: Xcacls "windows directory behind module crystal_windows" /T /E /G Administrators:F Best regards Tev cwRsync maintainer http://itefix.no/cwrsync http://sourceforge.net/projects/sereds > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Erik Jacobs > Sent: 30. januar 2006 22:25 > To: rsync@lists.samba.org > Subject: cwrsync server 2.0.4 / winxp / ownership problems? > > Hi all! > > We're using cwrsync server 2.0.4 on winxp to keep files up to > date between some operator machines. > > Whenever I run rsync to send files to another machine, the > read-only flag gets set.
