# rsync

    rsync from/dir to/location

Copies files, creating `to/location/dir`

    rsync from/dir/ to/location

Copies the contents of `from/dir` to `to/location/`

## Options

Basic ones:

- `-r/--recursive`: recurses directories
- `-v/--verbose`: increases verbosity
- `--delete`: deletes files from destination that weren't in the source
- `-z/--compress`: compress files during transfer

### -a / --archive

Turns on `-rlptgoD`. So recursive (`-r`), and preserves a bunch of stuff like
soft links, permissions, owners, modification times, special files.
