permissions (over rsync in particular)

[markehb]

On mandrake 9.1, trying to sync over rsync, and getting permission denied. The files are owned by various different users.

What do I need to set to give the user i'm logging in with rsync as the rights to copy the files?

Thanks all

I wouldn't know since I've never used rsync. Have you had a look through the rsync manpage (man rsync) for possible options you can use to allow a user the rights to copy files? I just had a look at the rsync manpage myself and found it has lots of options that can be specified with the rsync command.

Anyone else know?

I have, all I can find info on is how to preserve permissions when files are copied.

I have no problem editing the actual files, deleting etc.
