I'm trying to setup an rsync server on my Ubuntu machine. Transfer from a local PC to the server via rsync does work, but the resultant uploaded files have no r,w or x bits set, e.g.

---------- 1 fredb fredb    0 Aug 30 20:50 sk_user_20120830_033450.txt

My rsyncd.conf file is:

motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd

[workspace]
path = /tmp
comment = rsync server
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
read only = false
auth users = fredb
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.scrt

How can I get the target files permissions correct? Also once I've solved this problem how can I transfer without a password?

TY, Fred
