rsync [options] [source] [target]

rsync [options] [source] [target]


-a  - "archive" rsync, includes ownership info and extended attributes extremely useful for moving large volumes of data and keeping AD/OD/POSIX permissions intact

-v - "verbose" gives the user more information on the rsync display

-x  - prevents crossing filesystem boundaries

--progress  - combined with the "-v" option, gives you the best in-terminal display of rsync's progress


------------------------


rsync local user@host:directory
