Rsync, incremental file list output but no actual copying

I'm running the following command, with the intention of recreating the contents of (sync) on the remote server.

sudo rsync -avrz /path/to/sync/ -e "ssh -i ../keys/my.pem [email protected]:/path/to/sync/"

However, when I run this I get a "sending incremental file list" output and a list of the files which should be copied. Nothing actually gets written to the remote server.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks...

Solution

  • Try this

    sudo rsync -avrz /path/to/sync/ -e "ssh -i ../keys/my.pem" [email protected]:/path/to/sync/

    Note the place of the second " character. There is no remote address specified in the previous command.
