I get an error backing up my laptop to an nfs location.
(See former mails with same subject)
So therefore I now tried to an ssh location on a FreeBSD server.
As a normal user I'm not allowed to set the sticky bit there:
$ chmod 1644 foo
chmod: foo: Inappropriate file type or format
I looked at man and tried it with --no-change-dir-inc-perms but nothing
changes I still get this failure with [errno 79] ... see below for details.
What should I do? Any suggetions here. I don't wan't to allow normal users to
set sticky bit on my FreeBSD server, no way - neiter I'd allow connection via
ssh as root.
Are there any other possibilities?
Thank you kindly for any hints
Tom
