Editing Sync Remote Directories (section)

== Arguments ==

* `a` flag: Stands for "archive" and copies recursively, preserving permissions, symbolic links, etc.
* `n` flag: "Dry run" option for testing purposes.
* `v` flag: Verbose.
* `u` flag: Only copy files with a newer modification time (or size difference if the times are equal)
* `P` flag: Show progress
* `i` flag: Itemize changes.
* `e` flag: Method for using a non-standard ssh port if the remote host is configured with a non-standard ssh port.

* `--exclude` specifies one subdirectory to exclude from the operation. The directory name must be followed with at trailing slash. <ref>[https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-exclude-files-and-directories-with-rsync/ How to exclude files and directories with rsync] - Linuxize</ref>
* `--exclude-from` specifies a text file containing a list of directories and files to exclude from the sync. This may be a more manageable option than multiple `--exclude` directives.
* `--delete` option will cause target files and directories to be deleted if they are not found  within the source directory.
* `--size-only` will cause rsync to ignore metadata when comparing files and only look at file size.
