This command uses the rsync utility to copy files from a remote system to a local system over an SSH connection.
- The "-e ssh" option tells rsync to use SSH for the transport protocol to securely transfer the files.
- The "--delete" option sends a request to delete any extra files that exist in the destination directory that do not exist in the source directory.
- "${remote_host}" is the name or IP address of the remote system.
- "${path-to-remote_file}" is the file or directory to be transferred from the remote system.
- "${path-to-local_file}" is the destination directory or location on the local system where the files will be transferred to.
