Hi Kevin, thanks for your help, it works. My mistake was that I thought that the use of the '--size-only' switch will not repair file timestamps. Now I still do not understand why does not work this switch form: --chmod=D=775,F=664 (it causes error message: rsync: Invalid argument passed to --chmod (D=775,F=664) rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1554) [client=3.1.0] ). But it isn't too big problem, as form: --chmod=Dug=rwx,Do=rx,Fug=rw,Fo=r works well. It seems as compatibility with chmod syntax isn't perfect and rsync man page not clearly mentioned this.
