Setting permissions

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Hello

On syncing to a local SMB share, permissions (via SMB) are all being set like this:
drwxr-xr-x on folders and -rw-r--r-- on files

So i can read, but cannot write. The local shares are setup the same as every other share i have, so i’m not sure this is on the UnRaid side.

Can i set permissions when syncing?

Many thanks
