How to set file/folder permissions using Rsync from Windows to Linux

Question

I want to transfer lots of files/folders from Windows to Linux using Rsync. On linux server(destination), I want the file permission set to 644, and folder permission set to 755. If possible, I want the ownership set to root.root for all the files/folders. I have tried -p option, but it doesn't work. Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

You can set the perms using the --chmod parameter e.g.

--chmod=Du=rwx,go=rx,Fu=rw,og=r 

will force the permissions to be set to 755 for Directories and 644 for Files.
