Hi a,<br>
<br>
I believe that error is saying you're rsyncing to a non-existing
folder. What is the command you are using?<br>
<br>
Also, what is the output of:<br>
lsblk<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>

<p>thanks for the reply I took the easy way out with permissions
used sudo nautilius. although it did dredge up shadow of the
past with chmod.<br>
</p>
<p>If you have the inclination can you illustrate rsync
suggestions by referring to the terminal output below in this
email. I created a backup folder. but get the following" "Can
anyone explain, attachment .png of uuid info. error seems to
be between /media/a/uuid and a "switch" occurs /media/uuid,
what the hey/" <br>
</p>
<p>and this error message: "rsync error: error in file IO (code
11) at main.c(675) [Receiver=3.1.2] "</p>
<p>If the problem is to messy to decipher I will concur. Then
thanks all the same, congrats on the new club. Best, a<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>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Jared<br>
