Question: how to chown files?

[Bogdaan]

Rsync have options:
--chown=USER:GROUP
--user=user
--grou=group

Args not work:
args: '--owner www-data --group www-data',

It posible to use this options?

[jedrichards]

Args needs to be an array, have you tried

args: ['--owner www-data','--group www-data']

[Bogdaan]

Not works, and i try

['--chown www-data:www-data'] 

[jedrichards]

Can you try copy and pasting the generated command into your shell, and see if it works outside grunt-rsync? i.e. take the bit

Shell command was: <copy and paste this>

And run it directly. We can find out if there's a problem with the generated command, or something else ...

1. args: ['--owner www-data','--group www-data']
   Shell command was: rsync . root@i:/var/www/i --rsh "ssh -i ~/.ssh/id" --recursive --delete --exclude=.git* --exclude=node_modules --owner www-data --group www-data
   ERROR
   Error: rsync exited with code 1

2. args: ['--chown www-data:www-data'],
   no errors, but chown not works on remote

[sodle]

The correct list of arguments is args: ['--chown www-data:www-data', '--owner', '--group'].

--chown=user:group tells your copy of rsync to chown the file while transferring it. --owner and --group tells the other end to preserve those changes when receiving it.
