Hi,

I got the following error with my rsync script:

rsync: [receiver]  failed to set permissions on "/work/file.txt" (in backup): Operation not supported (95)

I don't know why ?

You get this error when the other side ( server ) can't change the file permission.
Perhaps the file system doesn't support it.
Or the user that runs the rsync-daemon on the server doesn't have the rights to change the permissions.

You can suppress the error-message by adding --no-perms to the rsync-command..

Code: Select all

rsync -ahv --no-perms target/ destination/

or you separately per owner and group

Code: Select all

rsync -ahv --no-o --no-g target/ destination/
