# or 
rsync -vrltD --stats --human-readable /tmp/software /nas10 | pv -lep -s 42 >/dev/null

# built in progress bar remote -> local transfer
rsync -hav --progress user@12.12.12.12:/path/to/your/file.gz .


# rsync interprets a directory with no trailing slash as copy this directory, and a directory with a trailing slash as copy the contents of this directory. @source https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20300971/rsync-copy-directory-contents-but-not-directory-itself

# copies contents of foo/
rsync -av ~/foo/ user@remote.com:/var/www/bar/
