can you put that all in a code block please?

Like so?

use three ` to wrap it

And please verify that the user you have, has access to those folders on both machines and have FULLY access and ownership, as it looks like rsync is erroring out as it is trying to change permissions to match your users permissions and cant due to linux permission bullarky

Can you discuss the appropriate permissions required?

[Merith-TK]

read/write permissions at the very least, and ownership of the files/folders, —Merith

running: sudo chown <user> -R "$HOME/.local/share/code-server/" at the remote server worked Thank you

Yeah i noticed that it was a permissions issue due to the errors, try doing those commands t (moving, changing permissions) on files your user doesnt own (as an example) without sudo and it would return errors akin to it

You can close the issue if you like,
