Hi all, Has anyone encountered this: On ServerA, I make this directory: /var/ftp/pub/userA with ownership root.root

It gets rsynced to serverB with this command: rsync -avzgorp --delete -e ssh /var/ftp/pub/ root@serverB:/var/ftp/pub/

However, when I change the ownership of /var/ftp/pub/userA to userA.userA, this change is not rsync-ed to serverB.

Is there any option to achieve this? Thank you very much. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 8:17pm up 12:35, 2.6.16.13-4-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org

Fajar,

Your rsync command contains extraneous options. The -a actually is a shortcut for -rlptogoD, so all you really need is -avz as options. If you could provide an ls -la of the source and remote directories, that would help tremendously. One thing that comes to mind is to be sure that userA.userA has the same UID & GID on both servers. In my case, where I'm rsyncing to a remote server and the UID/GID don't match, you'll just get numeric IDs as owners and groups on the remote side. So, try eliminating the duplicate options first, be sure UID/GID are the same on both servers. Let us know how it goes.

HTH

Thanks!
