rsync:file:local-to-remote

Transfer a file from local to a remote host.
$ rsync ${path-to-local_file} ${remote_host}:${path-to-remote_directory}
try on your machine

This command uses the rsync utility to synchronize or copy a file or directory from a local machine to a remote machine.

${path-to-local_file} represents the path to the local file that needs to be copied.

${remote_host} represents the IP address or hostname of the remote machine where the file needs to be copied to.

${path-to-remote_directory} represents the directory path on the remote machine where the file needs to be copied.

When this command is executed, rsync will compare the local file with the remote file (if it exists) and copy only the differences between the two. This makes the transfer faster and more efficient.
