rsync error: failed to set times on “/foo/bar”: Operation not permitted

Question

I\'m getting a confusing error from rsync and the initial things I\'m finding from web searches (as well as all the usual chmod\'ing) are not solving it:

rsync:          


        

Answer 1

As @racl101 has commented on an answer, this problem might be related to the folder owner. The rsync command should be done by the same user as the folder owner's one. If it's not the same, you can change it.

chown -R userCorrect /remote/path/to/foo/bar
