scp and file owner

Question

I'm using PDFObject for my application :

var myPDF = new PDFObject({
    url:myUrl,
    id:"myPDF",
    width:"100%",
    height:"100%",
    pdfOpenParams:{
        navpanes:1,
        statusbar:0,
        toolbar:1,
        view:"FitH",
        pagemode:"bookmarks",
        page:anchor
    }
})

var fullText = functionGettingResults()

I want added dinamically search : fulltext in pdfOpenParams.

myPDF.pdfOpenParams.search = fullText not works

How I can ?

thx

Solution 1

From man scp:

-p      Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
        original file.

You can see the -p option does not preserve ownership.

If you want to preserve file ownership, you can use rsync with -o and -g, which will preserve owner and group. This requires you to run rsync as root.

Solution 2

When you scp, the ownership comes from the user you use to scp to the other machine. For example:-

scp FILENAME USER@HOSTNAME:/PATH/TO/DESTINATION/

The ownership of FILENAME at the host HOSTNAME after scp will be USER as owner and primary group of USER as its group ownership.

Just tar the files you want to copy with -p, scp the tar, and untar on the destination with -p as well.
