+===== Copying files using rsync from remote server to local machine =====
+From your local machine:
+<code>
+rsync -chavzP --stats user@remote.host:/path/to/copy /path/to/local/storage
+</code>
+From your local machine with a non standard ssh port:
+<code>
+rsync -chavzP -e "ssh -p $portNumber" user@remote.host:/path/to/copy /local/path
+</code>
+Or from the remote host, assuming you really want to work this way and your local machine is listening on SSH:
+<code>
+rsync -chavzP --stats /path/to/copy user@host.remoted.from:/path/to/local/storage
+</code>
