I‘ve tried to copy files from my Mac to a Debian server with rsync. Therefore I installed the current version via Homebrew.

Now the sync is working but my files are owned on the destination by root (the ssh-user) although I use the —chown=www-data:www-data or —usermap=*:www-data Options. It seems that rsync is ignoring them.

Any ideas?

The obvious problem that I can see is that the options you've provided are not correct.

Instead of --chown your question has -chown, containing a single Unicode emdash instead of the expected two standard hyphens.

The same is true of --usermap where your question instead shows —usermap.

It was a version issue so the version on my mac os doesn't support the --chown etc options.
