Then change your source argument to match all the contents of the source directory rather than the source directory itself: rsync --recursive --compress --human-readable --progress --update --perms --chmod=a-w -e "ssh -i /rsync-key" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/source_dir/'*' /target_dir The asterisk is quoted so that your shell passes it unchanged through to the remote shell, which expands it. Note that this approach doesn't give you the option to delete extraneous files from /target_dir .
