- 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 all *.js files in current directory to host 'devbox' as user 'mike'
`rsync *.js mike@devbox:~/projects/cakeStore/styles/`
- transfer a directory and all its children from a remote to local
`rsync -r mike@devbox:~/projects/cakeStore /Users/mike/devProjects/`
