Can a person rsyc using SSH from a remote location to a file server?

Asked by VoodooLogic (729points) March 6th, 2009

I’m trying to backup my music to a spare machine, but all the documentation I find seems to put the command at the server end. when it succeeds it syncs in the wrong direction… When I try to flip the source and destination it fails.

For instance
rsync -vaen ssh username@192.168.1.13:/lib/var/mythtv/music/ /home/username/Music > /home/username/rsync.new.txt
works but syncs the wrong way.

rsync -vaen ssh /home/username/Music username@192.168.1.13:/lib/var/mythtv/music/ > /home/username/rsync.new.txt
however, fails.

HELP!
