ls -h doesn't show hidden files, it shows the files sizes in "h"uman
readable format.<br>
<br>
Do an ls -a to show "a"ll the files, including the hidden ones.<br>
<br>
Also I think you might need to add a trailing / to your destination
directory to get it to work correctly.<br>

original to destination w/o rsync i am asked if I want to skip

I attempted to do an ls -h but the file is not hidden.</div>
