I hate it when I have to admit defeat but I'm having trouble finding out a resolution to this issue. I'm trying to set up rsync from my linux box to an external drive mounted on a windows box. I mount the drive to /mnt/smb and can access it just fine. But when I attempt to rsync files, it looks like anything beyond one level of sub-directory gives me a permission denied error.

At this point I'm trying a simple directory with a few files and some sub-directories in it. Here's the output:

I've tried several different rsync strings, and get pretty much the same problems regardless of what I do. Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?

The problem is not rsync, but how you mounted the drive. Try looking at setting the username and password. (I am assuming that you have sharing turned on.

Actually it was a setting on the share. Silly me. :) All fixed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
