Hello, $ ssh remote mkdir /tmp/tests $ ssh remote mkdir /tmp/tests/test.d $ ssh remote touch /tmp/tests/test
$ ssh remote chmod 700 /tmp/tests $ ssh remote chmod 700 /tmp/tests/test.d $ ssh remote chmod 600 /tmp/tests/test $ rsync -rp remote:/tmp/tests /tmp $ chmod o+r /tmp/tests/test.d $ chmod o+r /tmp/tests/test $ rsync -rpcv --info=flist0,stats0 remote:/tmp/tests /tmp -n -i .f...p..... tests/test .d...p..... tests/test.d/ $ rsync -rpcv --info=flist0,stats0 remote:/tmp/tests /tmp -n tests/test.d/ I would expect rsync to report changes in permissions consistently both in case of files and directories.
