# To copy files from remote to local, maintaining file properties and sym-links (-a), zipping for faster transfer (-z), verbose (-v).  
rsync -avz host:file1 :file1 /dest/
rsync -avz /source host:/dest

# Copy files using checksum (-c) rather than time to detect if the file has changed. (Useful for validating backups). 
rsync -avc /source/ /dest/

# Copy contents of /src/foo to destination:

# This command will create /dest/foo if it does not already exist
rsync -auv /src/foo /dest

# Explicitly copy /src/foo to /dest/foo
rsync -auv /src/foo/ /dest/foo
Cherry-picking changes from #185 @zhujian0805 contributed some excellent cheatsheets in #185, but some binary files seem to have gotten mixed into the commit as well. This commit cherry-picks the cheatsheet file changes from that PR while leaving behind the cruft. Also performed minor editing on some of the cheatsheets. 2014-10-19 17:43:43 +02:00			`# To copy files from remote to local, maintaining file properties and sym-links (-a), zipping for faster transfer (-z), verbose (-v).`
- Cheatsheets added for a couple of my favourite commands: - rsync: file copy and backup multi-tool - indent: one liner to nicely format C/C++ source. 2014-03-07 23:29:10 +01:00			`rsync -avz host:file1 :file1 /dest/`
			`rsync -avz /source host:/dest`
