    <p>The goal is to sync local and remote folders over ssh.</p> <p>My current user is <em>user1</em>, and I have a password-less access setup over ssh to a server <em>server1</em>. I want to sync local folder with a folder on <em>server1</em> by means of <strong>rsync</strong> utility. Normally I would run:</p> <pre><code>rsync -rtvz /path/to/local/folder server1:/path/to/remote/folder </code></pre> <p><strong>ssh</strong> access works as expected, <strong>rsync</strong> is able to connect over <strong>ssh</strong>, but it returns "Permission denied" error because on <em>server1</em> the folder <code>/path/to/remote/folder</code> is owned by <em>user2</em>:<i>user2</i>. File permissions of the folder do not allow it to be altered by anyone else. <em>user1</em> is a sudoer on <em>server1</em> so <code>sudo su - <em>user2</em></code> works during <strong>ssh</strong> session. How to forse <strong>rsync</strong> to switch the user when it <strong>ssh</strong>'ed to the server?</p> <p>Adding <em>user1</em> to the group <em>user2</em> is not an option because all user/group management on the server is done automatically and replicated from a central repo every X mins, that I have not access to.</p> <p>Same for changing permissions/ownership of the destination folder: it is updated automatically on a regular basis with a reset of all permissions.</p> <p>Possible solution coming to my mind is a script that syncs the local folder with a temporary intermediate remote folder owned by <em>user1</em> on the server, and then syncs two remotes folders as <em>user2</em>. </p> <p>Googling for a shorter and prettier solution did not yield any success.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
