The command should be: rsync '<server-ip>::Realperson Backups/' /random/file-or-directory/ To pull /random/file-or-directory/foo , the command would be: rsync '<server-ip>::Realperson Backups/foo' /random/file-or-directory/foo (I'm using single quotes due to the space in the module name, which you might want to get rid of.) > I was not sure > whether or not I needed the second configuration, can I delete it?
