I want the permissions, group and owner of the transferred files to retain the settings of the DESTINATION file. Is this possible with rsync?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The perms (mode) part works well by leaving off --perms (or using --no-perms), since that leaves the perms of existing files unchanged, even when updating them. Sadly, the same is not true for owner and group. You'd have to use --inplace and leave off --owner and --group to leave files owner/group unchanged.</div>
