Thanks so much for the quick reply, Kevin!
I tried with ssh and --partial-dir, it looks the partial file still will be
stored in local dir, but not in /tmp.
Every 1.0s: ls -al /home/joe/rsync/ /tmp/

And tried again with ssh and --temp-dir, it works.

Anyway, at least the ssh + temp-dir works for me. Thank you!
