rsync requesting multiple files from a remote host

rsync requesting multiple files from a remote host.txt

       The syntax for requesting multiple files from a remote host is done by specifying additional remote-host args in the
       same style as the first, or with the hostname omitted.  For instance, all these work:

           rsync -av host:file1 :file2 host:file{3,4} /dest/
           rsync -av host::modname/file{1,2} host::modname/file3 /dest/
           rsync -av host::modname/file1 ::modname/file{3,4}

       Older versions of rsync required using quoted spaces in the SRC, like these examples:

           rsync -av host:'dir1/file1 dir2/file2' /dest
           rsync host::'modname/dir1/file1 modname/dir2/file2' /dest

       This word-splitting still works (by default) in the latest rsync, but is not as easy to use as the first method.

       If you need to transfer a filename that contains whitespace, you can either specify the --protect-args (-s)  option,
       or you'll need to escape the whitespace in a way that the remote shell will understand.  For instance:

           rsync -av host:'file\ name\ with\ spaces' /dest
