Rsync to windows FTP over curlftpfs fails to set permissions

http://serverfault.com – I'm transferring some large files (1.5Gb) to a windows FTP server in a cronjob. It's going over a 2Mbit ADSL line, with 512Kbit upstream. So it takes forever, and can be prone to dropping to line. I use a loop around rsync to do this while ! rsync -q -P --append source ftp_dest; do sleep 60#give the line a chance to reset (which happens automatically) done This works to transfer the file, even with drops (I check the md5sums afterwards just in case). The problem comes at the very end of the process where rsync tries to set the destination file's permissions, which fails, because the un (HowTos)

I always wondered why rsync tries to transfer a file to a remote location where it has read/execute permissions for the target dir, but no write permissions to create the actual destination file.

[SOLVED] touch with rsync 32 weeks 1 day ago

Hey guys.

I have a rsync command as follows in a expect script

Code: spawn rsync -a -r -z -v -h -p -i --log-file=/path/rsync.log --progress --delete-excluded -e ssh user@ip:/source /destination My question is. When rsync has downloaded a file or folder, how can i get rsync to touch the file / folder with a date and timestamp for when the download was completed on the destination?

Thanks on

I have a mirroring system in place with rsync and it works well. However, moving a file causes it to be transferred again in its entirety.

Given what I know about the rsync algorithm's rolling checksum, wouldn't it be possible to:

tar all the source files rsync the tar

and only incur a block-size penalty for the change in file name, after which the checksum would resynchronise?

I want to use rsync to move my 512GB Mac OS X TimeMachine backup from one USB disk to another.

I'm trying running rsync -aPEv source destination to do so.

I used rsync to copy a large number of files, but my OS (Ubuntu) restarted unexpectedly.

After reboot, I ran rsync again, but from the output on the terminal, I found that rsync still copied those already copied before. But I heard that rsync is able to find differences between source and destination, and therefore to just copy the differences.

I am transferring a large amount of files from one computer to another using rsync.

I was using a script to perform rsync in sudo crontab. The script does a 2-way rsync (from serverA to serverB and reverse). the rsync uses ssh to connect between servers. After i reboot both the server machines, the rsync is not working in sudo crontab.

rsync and ssh keys help 38 weeks 5 days ago

Not specifically a mac question, but it's what I am using.

I am setting up some replication for some file shares using rsync. The problem is that I am being given a little bit of a twist - I'm supposed to use a non-admin account to do it with.

I have 2 boxes - Master and Slave with 1 account (sharesync). I setup a pub/private key pair and am able to successfully ssh from slave to master.

The situation is as follows:

Machine A has a file repository accessible via rsync Machine B needs the above mentioned files with all permissions and ownerships intact (including groups etc) Machine C has access to both A and B, but has a completely different set of users.

Normally, i would just rsync everything over, directly between A and B, but due to severely limited bandwidth at the mome
