Use rsync to and from copy files from a remote machine

Assuming the remote machine has SSH successfully installed and working then it is a simple case:

rsync -v -u -a --delete --rsh=ssh --stats username@192.168.0.100:/home/username/remotefile.txt 

This will copy files from  /home/username/remotefile.txt on the machine at 192.168.0.100

to copy files to that same machine then the command syntax is as follows:

rsync -v -u -a --delete --rsh=ssh --stats localfile.txt username@192.168.0.100:/home/username/

I will do a more in depth backup write up using rsync soon.
