Permissions are incorrectly ordered issue
Sun, 01/11/2009 - 21:04
I have a cwrsync server on one machine and a cwrsync client on another. Both are windows machines. If I pull from the server with rsync -v -r -P rsync:///server/share /cygdrive/z/localdir the files will copy to the client OK but the file ACL will be messed up. If I turn off simple sharing, right click on a downloaded file and hit properties, security tab, windows warns:
The permissions on X are incorrectly ordered, which may cause some entries to be inneffective. Press OK to continue and sort the permissions correctly, or Cancel to reset the permissions.
I have other problems caused by these incorrectly ordered permissions (can't serve the downloaded files out via a UNC share for example) that go away when Windows fixes the ACL.
I think rsync is trying to be clever and copy the ACL exactly and this doesn't work for some reason. I just want it to copy the files over like a dumb ftp client. How can I make cwrsync client make a regular everybody readable file?
I was using cwrsync 4.0.1 but I downgraded to 3.1.0 to see if that would fix the problem. It did not.

Same error, but pushing
I'm hitting this same error, but on the pushing side of thing. I'm pushing from a Vista box to a Server 2008 box and it looks like cwRsync wants to touch permissions when I'd rather it just put a file somewhere and let the permissions cascade to that file.
rsync.exe -rt /cygdrive/DRIVE/pictures/ rsync://HOST/pictures
and in the server's rsyncd.conf:
use chroot = false
strict modes = false
hosts allow = *
log file = rsyncd.log
[pictures]
path = /cygdrive/d/pictures
read only = false
I have the default etc/fstab file on my server
For version 3.x: Make sure that you use the supplied batch file for rsync operations
For version 4.x: Make sure that you have a copy of the etc/fstab file from the cwrsync server in the same directory as rsync executable or in the subdirectory etc.
