You must first allow root ssh on destination server and set root password (only temporarily!).
To copy a directory from one host to an existing directory on another host (via SSH):
rsync -a -e ssh /export/nfs/swn/ coil:/export/tarballs/swn_test/
If the target directory does not exist on the destination:
rsync -a -e ssh /export/nfs/swn coil:/export/tarballs/
- A trailing slash in the source field means 'copy the contents of this folder'.
- No trailing slash in the source field means 'copy this entire file or folder'.
- A trailing slash in the destination field means 'copy contents to this folder'.
- No trailing slash in the destination field means 'copy entire file or folder to this file or folder name'.
