rsync option is not working.

Latest response

Hi all.

Trying a command with rsync but its not working. What I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to tranfer some files and change the ownership of the file on destination.

rsync -av --usermap=:applmgr --chmod=ugo=rwx --include '.txt' --exclude '*' /usr/tmp/ root@uscprod2:/home/account/boxing/

Error
rsync: --usermap=*:applmgr: unknown option
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1449) [client=3.0.6]

this is the version of the rsync.

Thanks in advance.

The --usermap option has been introduced in version 3.1.0 (http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/src/rsync-3.1.0-NEWS) and you are running 3.0.6.

If rsync being used as a part of shell script, check the she bang first, some of the rsync options are not compatible with ksh sh, try to use bash. mostly issue will be addressed.
