What is the command to copy files from A to B when ssh connected?

[Ben Trussell]

If you need to preserve attributes such as uid/gid (owner, group) and
timestamps etc, you can use rsync:

  rsync -av -e "ssh -l username"  /some/dir/locationA
remote.host.name:/dest/location

preserving extended attributed and ACLs?  try using

  rsync -avAX -e "ssh -l username"  /some/dir/locationA
remote.host.name:/dest/location

Want to try it out first to see what *would* happen (test run)?

  rsync --dry-run -avAX -e "ssh -l username"  /some/dir/locationA
remote.host.name:/dest/location
