## How to fix opendir operation not permitted error from rsync on macOS Catalina

I was getting opendir operation not permitted error from rsync on macOS Catalina.
The command I was using: rsync -vaE --progress /Volumes/SourceName /Volumes/DestinationName
Source: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/117469/65292
I have fixed this error by giving Full Disk Access to Terminal and to /usr/bin/rsync. Tip: You can use CMD + Shift + G to choose the folder of rsync in System Preferences - Security & Privacy.
