Doubt on usage of rsync for chown of existing folders

[Celso de Sousa Junior]

Hi, 

Please, I am using rsync to synchronize local machine with remote machine. 

I already have some files copied. Now I have to change the ownership from existing files in the destination folder. 

I tried the following options but it did not worked. Can you please help me with other options or alternatives ?
--perms --chown=user:group --chmod=777 --exclude-from=$EXCLUDES -avzi --rsync-path="/usr/local/bin/rsync" -e ssh

Thanks, 
Regards,CJ
