[ale] RSync Permissions Question

[Jeff Dilcher]

Actually, these have been synced from

Linux  -->  WinME --> Linux

Shouldn't the file that winds up on Linux
have the same permsissions as it did when
it originated from there.

Basically, I am editing on my windows
machine with Frontpage, and re-syncing
back to Linux, from where the files
originate.  It is when I edit, and resync
back, that the original permission is
modified.  I don't know if you can prevent
this from happening, even with the -p
flag.

Jeff,  Basically there are no existing permissions when copying from
the WinME system.  Therefore your Linux system is using 'umask' to
determine file permissions.  Based on your 644 settings, your umask is
set to 022.  This shouldn't be a bad thing, unless some of the files
you are RSync'ing are cgi executables and need the x bit set.
