Denied & it is my file & I have permission ?

jv2112 · 07-17-2010, 11:44 AM

If I try the sudo mv command on the file listed below I get the error listed. I am confused. It is my file & I have permissions

Somehow a slew of files on my system are now showing this way.

This seems to correspond when I ran rsync from my netbook to sync it up with my desktop where I am having a problem.

Any ideas ?

sudo rsync -av --delete --rsh=ssh joe@192.168.1.4:/media/Abyss/Memories/ /home/joe/Pictures/

is the drive being mounted read only?do you have write permissions for the enclosing folder? if you use mv from the command line instead of rsync does that work?

Drive -> No

Only Some folders within the parent folder at issue is effected. According to the file stats I am the owner and have RWX permissions. The other parent folders on the drive are OK.

Both functions(MV / RSYNC) = NG

If YOU are the owner, do NOT use sudo!

If root is the owner, you DO use sudo.

jv2112 -

Important concept: "root" on your local host is NOT the same as "root" on the remote host. This is a Good Thing.

You can give full permissions to your "root" on the remote host ... but I would discourage this. Similarly (as MTK358 suggested), I would discourage you from running "rsync" as "root".

Here's a great link, with lots of good advice:

Thanks for the responses. So will it set it straight if I re run the rsync sequence without Sudo ?

Yes. You could also try to do this:

Code:

chmod -R 777 /media/Abyss

which will max out the permissions on the drive.

This will also work:

Code:

sudo chmod 777 /dev/sd*

This will max out the permissions on all drives you plug in.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried all 3 & I still get the same type of error on files that I should not.
