Almost certainly you will want to use ssh rather than rsh, since it's
more secure and more functional. To do this, you must say
export RSYNC_RSH=ssh
or the equivalent for your shell.
You'll also probably want to use the --recursive option to copy the
whole directory, or to specify some specific files to copy.
