I got a working Drupal installation running on a server but want to copy it to my local computer using Drush rsync and sql-sync.
The content show (even log in boxes) but there seem to be no theme running so it is play HTML and the error message:
Error message
The file could not be created.
The file could not be created.
The file could not be created.
Changing rights to 775 on sites/default/files reduced the number of "The File could not be created" to 2 (instead of 3 repeats) and going to localhost/sitename/update.php show a longer error message. But I really do not know how to proceede from here.

Oh dear god, now I got a pretty good guess of what I did wrong.
I must have blanked out completely yesterday (can I blame it on not being allowed to drink coffee anymore?). Obviously the error is in the themes directory permissions and not the file.inc.
