permissions of files created by rsync from windows share

txm123 · 08-28-2009, 10:07 AM

I'm mounting my windows share on my linux backup server and using rsync to backup the files. But the files are created with permission

rwxrwSrwx

and I cannot see them when I'm browsing my samba server. If I set the permission to chmod 700 then I can see the files. I was wondering if it is possible to just write the files with 700 when using rsync?

You can supply the flag "--chmod=u=rwx,go=" to the rsync command. Of course, this means that you will lose all the NTFS permissions in the backup.
