Denied & it is my file & I have permission ?
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 ? :doh: Potential Source -> Quote:

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 :cry: |
If YOU are the owner, do NOT use sudo!
If root is the owner, you DO use sudo. |

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: http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/ 'Hope that helps .. PSM |
Thanks for the responses. So will it set it straight if I re run the rsync sequence without Sudo ?:newbie:

Code:
chmod -R 777 /media/Abyss This will also work: Code:
sudo chmod 777 /dev/sd* |
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried all 3 & I still get the same type of error on files that I should not.
