When using rsync to upload files to my web host, it is changing directory permissions so things don't work until I ssh in and change the directory permission back to 755. Why is it doing this and what do I need to do to keep the permissions as they are set on my local system at 755. Here's the syntax that I used first and second. I added the 'p' thinking that would preserve permissions, but it did not. rsync -avH --progress /home/joe/mydata/av7/website/ vsiqcom@box582.bluehost.com:www/av7/website/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/av7/website/ vsiqcom@box582.bluehost.com:www/av7/website/ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
