rsync doesn't keep uid and gid

Post by tiagofb »

Hi,

I'm trying to setup an rsync module in N4F to serve as a backup from a Linux machine. The directory structure at linux are shared by several users, in a collaborative way, secured by permissions to users and groups.

When I try to transfer files with rsync, all files and directories are saved at N4F with ftp:wheel group/user combination.

How can I mantain the same UID:GID used at Linux, since the user that start rsync at Linux are root?

Command used:

rsync -avP /directory_structure_to_backup n4free_ip::module_name

At N4F, in rsync module configuration, I leave User ID and Group ID empty.

What are my mistake?

Thanks.
