What happens when you rsync without a destination path?












2















I copied a file to destination without providing the path. It seems to have copied successfully, but i cant find the file in the destination, where could it be located?



rsync -av --progress file.txt user@host
sending incremental file list
file.txt
1048576000 100% 63.19MB/s 0:00:15 (xfer#1, to-check=0/1)

          You now have a file in your working directory called "user@host". If you had copied it to a remote location without a path, user@host: (note colon) would have called it file.txt in whatever the default location on that server is (likely user's home directory).
