[Tevfik Karagülle]

The last version of cwRsync contains rsync binaries with acl support. May be
worth to try.

cwRsync FAQ at
http://www.itefix.no/phpws/index.php?module=faq&FAQ_op=view&FAQ_id=54 can
also give some clues.

> Typically:

> rsync -rpDPo --chmod=Du+rwx,Fu+rwx,+X

> Now, I can't find out the exact syntax for the Rsync --chmod= command.
> Documents for using it on Windows are not good.

> Normal 'chmod' I know.

> the D and F refer to the directory or file? But what is the +X doing?

> Google can't search for 'chmod=' so I'm stumped.
