The thing that MH said, without explicitly saying it, was that having
the / at the end of the source 'file' tells rsync to sync the
directory's CONTENTS, not the directory.
That is to say that this:
rsync -av ~ someone@somewhere:/home/someone
And this:
rsync -av ~/ someone@somewhere:/home/someone
Are seriously different. The former will place '~' inside /home/someone
(if current user is 'me', then there will be a directory called 'me' in
/home/someone which is a copy of '~'), whereas the latter will result in
the CONTENTS of '~' on the local machine being copied to /home/someone
on the remote machine. At least, if I remember the rsync man page right
J.
One further note. This:
rsync -av ~ someone@somewhere:/home/someone
and this:
rsync -av ~ someone@somewhere:
Should result in the identical results, assuming that 'someone's home
directory on 'somewhere' is /home/someone.

your great ET.I figured out that to do it rsync <file x> <file y>. I
just had to realize that '<user>@<address>:' is just part of the file
name

But still.... it takes a long time to finish. Oh I get it..... I forgot
