I encountered the error when attempting to transfer source files from a remote Linux web server to a local HP dt1000i Desktop Hard Driveconnected to anUbuntu 12.10box via USB.A Samba share is configured for the HP drive to enable the Windows machines on my LAN to access the files. Samba was set up using the built-in graphical folder sharing functionality within Ubuntu. I can modify the files fine in Windows, but problems occur using rsync.When the error occurred, I was trying to usersyncto backup files from my web space to the HP drive. I executed the rsync command in PuTTY from a Windows 8 machine on my LAN:rsync -avz --progress --partial -e 'ssh -p 2222' user@www.example.com:/home/user/ /media/HPDesktopDrive/Backup/HostGator/This resulted in the following error: rsync: failed to set permissions on /path/to/file.txt: Operation not permitted (1).I thought the source of the error was the mount options for the HP drive in the /etc/fstabfile: both the user_id and group_id options were set to zero so I tried change them to 1000 as per the advice in NAS box mounted via CIFS - problem with permissions.An ls -la of the Samba share reports that the user and group are recursively set to root:root. I tried to address this by executing sudo chown -R mike:mike /media/HPDesktopDrive/, but the files are still set to root:root.What is the correct command to change the permissions from my Windows machine via PuTTY and will this address the problem?
rsync: failed to set permissions on /path/to/file.txt: Operation not permitted (1)
permissions;rsync
