[-- Attachment #1 --] hi all i'm trying to do a 'push' rsync operation to mirror the contents of my websites root directory on one machine over to a remote machine. rsync is installed on both machines. the command i'm using to rsync is rsync -e ssh -avz --exclude "/phpSysInfo" --exclude "/webalizer" --exclude "/phpMyAdmin" --delete --stats /usr/local/www/data-dist/ remote.machine.com=:/usr/local/www/data-dist/ this works, for the most part. the majority of files on the remote directory are sync'ed correctly after the operation. the problem is - this websites root directory is owned by one user - webuser, who is a member of group - webuser. various subdirectories inside of the websites root folder are owned by other users, who are also members of the 'webuser' group. the files/folders in the websites root direcotry are chmod'ed 775. this causes problems with the rsync operation, as i'm rsync'ing as webuser:webuser. i get errors during the rsync process such as failed to set permissions on studentwork/winter03old/war/images : Operation not permitted again, the majority of files sync correctly. but can anyone recommend a good way around this? i'm not able at this point to limit the websites root directory to only one user account... thanks redmond -- FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE-p10 #0: Fri Oct 3 21:30:51 CDT 2003 8:30AM up 22:46, 1 user, load averages: 1.69, 1.61, 1.47 Ever notice that even the busiest people are never too busy to tell you just how busy they are.
