[nmglug] rsync, what the hey?

[ABQLUG]

Hi a,

When using rsync, the destination and originating path needs to exist.

rsync -Prvvac /path/to/old/archive /path/to/new/archive

If the destination path doesn't exist, you will need to mkdir and mount 
accordingly.

However, your original question is how to change folder/file permissions.

This is how to change which user and group can access/edit a file.
sudo chown username:usergroup /path/to/file.txt

This is how to change which user and group can access/edit a folder and 
everything in that folder:
sudo chown -R username:usergroup /path/to/folder

This is how I would do it on my current system (to change user access to 
a folder):
sudo chown jr:jr /path/to/file

I know to use jr:jr because I did this:

ls -l .bash_history
-rw------- 1 jr jr 69881 May 24 13:34 .bash_history

To do this you will need to be in your user folder (or ls a file you 
know that you own).
pwd
/home/jr

I didn't cover chmod, so let us know if you still can't access the 
folder you're trying to access.

Regards,

Jared
