Rsync does nothing?

Question

I have only been experimenting with Rsync for a few minutes and find myself slightly lost. I ran the command

rsync -avz -e "ssh -p portNo" /path/to/local/folder user@remoteip:/path/to/remote/folder

Rsync got back to me with a file listing but nothing changed on the remote folder. What might I be doing wrong?

Answer 1

Maybe

rsync -auvze ssh /local/path/ user@host:port/remote/path/

Anyways, this sort of question is better to be posted on http://unix.stackexchange.com
