# rsync
> Transfer files either to or from a remote host (not between two remote hosts).
> Can transfer single files, or multiple files matching a pattern.
- Transfer file from local to remote host:
`rsync {{path/to/file}} {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_host_location}}`
- Transfer file from remote host to local:
`rsync {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_file_location}} {{local_file_location}}`
- Transfer file in archive (to preserve attributes) and compressed (zipped) mode:
`rsync -az {{path/to/file}} {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_host_location}}`
- Transfer a directory and all its children from a remote to local:
`rsync -r {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_folder_location}} {{local_folder_location}}`
- Transfer only updated files from remote host:
`rsync -ru {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_folder_location}} {{local_folder_location}}`
- Transfer file over SSH and show progress per file:
`rsync -e ssh --progress {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_file}} {{local_file}}`
- Transfer file over SSH and show global progress:
`rsync -e ssh --info=progress2 {{remote_host_name}}:{{remote_file}} {{local_file}}`
