curftpfs operation not permitted

English Network/Internet
1

Hi,

I mounted an FTP-Share via curlftpfs(from a FTP-Server running on Windows 7):

curlftpfs#username:pw@host /mnt/backup fuse user,noauto,disable_eprt,uid=1000,tlsv1,allow_other
curlftpfs#username:pw@host /mnt/backup fuse.curlftpfs user,noauto,disable_eprt,uid=1000,tlsv1,allow_other

but if I want to change permission of an directory or file I get an error:

Operation not permitted!

For normal this is not very important, but I want to backup my files there via rsync and it fails with same error…

How to fix that?

Thanks

Windows 7 doesn’t understand Unix-style permissions and as such doesn’t
support chmod.

That shouldn’t prevent you from writing to the directory, though, if the
user you login to the ftp server with has permission to do so.

Got it working, need to params for rsync: --no-perms und --no-times and you should change the temp-dir to a local one:
–temp-dir=/tmp
