Lennart Sorensen got an infinite number of monkeys to type out:

I get it, thanks!

I tried with *3* v's, but all I could get was:

[joehill at node1 ~]$ rsync -vvvrt .config/ 194.168.0.4:~/backup/
opening connection using ssh 194.168.0.4 rsync --server -vvvtr . "~/backup/"
ssh: connect to host 194.168.0.4 port 22: Connection timed out
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(434)
_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=434): about to call exit(12)

One thing I notice is that it is using the --server option, I do not even see
that in the manpage :-\
