Synchronize Permissions

Hi,

I'm using the synchronize command to keep a remote directory synced with a local one; so far so good.

However, I'm having a permissions problem; I want to keep the permissions similar to those on the local directory. However, WINSCP doesn't seem to be keeping them quite right. Instead, whenever it transfers I only see permissions for the logged user, 'everyone', and 'none'; I assume these are the windows equivalents of Group and Other of the unix UGO permissions. Instead, I would like to have the groups on the local server transfer to the remote server, such as 'Administrators', etc.

This leads me to a couple of questions. First off, what does 'default permissions' mean in the documentation regarding the -nopermissions switch of synchronize?
Second, is it possible to transfer only changed files with the 'put' command? Will this allow me to do what I need with the permissions?

Thanks,
Amit

WinSCP does not try to map local permissions in any way to remote permissions. I have no idea how this would be done anyway.

Default permissions assigned by your server to new files.

Use 'synchronize' for that.

Probably not.
