        I would probably run that as this.<br>
        <br>
        sudo rsync -Prvvac /home/path /desination/path<br>
        <br>
        I prefer to keep . files and I also like the progress. -r is
        recursive. I wouldn't delete anything though, unless you are in
        fact wanting to make a true 1:1 copy of that /path/ at the given
        time you run the command.<br>

                    Hi a,<br>
                    <br>
                    When using rsync, the destination and originating
                    path needs to exist.<br>
                    <br>
                    rsync -Prvvac /path/to/old/archive
                    /path/to/new/archive<br>
                    <br>
                    If the destination path doesn't exist, you will need
                    to mkdir and mount accordingly.<br>
                    <br>
                    However, your original question is how to change
                    folder/file permissions.<br>
                    <br>
                    This is how to change which user and group can
                    access/edit a file.<br>
                    sudo chown username:usergroup /path/to/file.txt<br>
                    <br>
                    This is how to change which user and group can
                    access/edit a folder and everything in that folder:<br>
                    sudo chown -R username:usergroup /path/to/folder<br>
                    <br>
                    This is how I would do it on my current system (to
                    change user access to a folder):<br>
                    sudo chown jr:jr /path/to/file<br>
                    <br>
                    I know to use jr:jr because I did this:<br>
                    <br>
                    ls -l .bash_history <br>
                    -rw------- 1 jr jr 69881 May 24 13:34 .bash_history<br>
                    <br>
                    To do this you will need to be in your user folder
                    (or ls a file you know that you own).<br>
                    pwd<br>
                    /home/jr<br>
                    <br>
                    I didn't cover chmod, so let us know if you still
                    can't access the folder you're trying to access.<br>
                    <br>
