Hi I have just noticed some problems with permissions in a win32 environment. When manually running rsync -v -p -z -t rsync://rsync.sanesecurity.net/sanesecurity/* /cygdrive/d/clamav/verify , the local permissions are overwritten. While this might not pose a problem normally but if you are running a separate update process in the task scheduler using a different user there are potential permission issues. Has anyone noticed similar issues? Is there a way to force the rsync not to overwrite the local folder/file permissions?

Typical message Hi Paul, Well, I'm using rsync v3.02 at the moment...with this command, just to test things without a script: rsync -v -p -z -t rsync://rsync.sanesecurity.net/sanesecurity/* /cygdrive/d/clamav/verify You can grab v3.04 here: http://hideout.ath.cx/ClamAV/rsync_w32.zip Are you still getting problems? Cheers, Steve Sanesecurity Hi, as I worte in the copfilter forum the version 3.0.4 of rsync seems to be buggy. I even had download problems with this release. After updating to 3.0.5 all runs well again. Regards Severus
