rsync -rtv local_path/ user@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:remote_path/

# (preserves timestamps), and --verbose
# then your source folder
# and your remote folder
# which is just you@yourserver
# then the colon
# then the path
# so if i were sending something from my homedirectory, to my server, it would be
rsync -rtv ~/folder/ chris@IP-HERE:/home/chris/folder

rsync -rtv ~/Sites/myWebApp grayghostvisuals.com@grayghostvisuals.com:~/domains/static.grayghostvisuals.com/html/sync-directory
