[ale] Rsync Permissions Question

Hello!

I am trying to use RSync from my WinME computer to sync
my local web site directory tree to and from my linux machine.  I have
it setup to use SSH, which works well.  My problem is with
permissions.

I can reset file permissions for a file on the Linux machine,
sync it back to the WinME, edit the content of the file, then
sync it back to Linux, and the file permission is changed
on the Linux machine to 644 every time.

I have tried various combinations of switches, such as -p,
which should preserve permissions with no luck.

Is this possible, or, are permissions always going to get hosed
when you rsync to and from a windows machine?

Thanks!
Jeff
