rsync -avz --progress --human-readable "-e ssh -p 3333" --exclude /backup --exclude /proc --exclude /sys / root@REMOTE_SERVER_IP:/backup/serverX/ |
Transfer a file
I normally use scp to do single file transfer. It may be better to it with rsync as you will be able to resume.

rsync -P -e ssh root@SERVER_IP:/path/to/file.tar.gz /local/path/ |
-P == –partial –progress
If you use non standard SSH port, then replace -e ssh with “-e ssh -p PORT_NUMBER”.
