Previously i wrote a post about how to limit the bandwidth during an rsync operation.

• Linux – Limit the bandwidth for rsync

Another parameter which you could alter is whether you want to delete the extra files in the destination folder.

rsync --delete -v -e ssh /home/ykyuen/* ykyuen@remote-server:/home/ykyuen/

Done =)
