Hi a,<br>
<br>
When using rsync, the destination path needs to exist.<br>
<br>
rsync -Prvvac /path/to/old/archive /path/to/new/archive<br>
<br>
Both of those paths needs to already exist. If they don't 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<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.<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>
