You should almost never use --checksum. It is slower than just re-copying everything. You should almost always use --times (or --archive which includes --times). Without this rsync is almost as dumb as cp. Also, ssh has been the default --ssh for a long time.

Hello,

I want to sync local folder to remote server. When I run follwing
command repeatedly, it always transfers everything each time again and
again:

   rsync --rsh='ssh' foo/ server:/foo/

does it mean I have to always use either --checksum or --times, to
prevent repeated transfer of files that have not changed ?

thank you,
