Upload file from a local computer to a remote server:
$ rsync -v -e ssh /path_to_file.txt username@hostname:~/destination_folder

Download remote folder using rsync:
$ rsync -r -v -e ssh username@hostname:~/path_to_folder /destination_folder

Synchronize a local directory with a remote directory:
$ rsync -r -a -v -e “ssh -l username” –delete hostname:/remote_dir/ /local_dir

Synchronize a remote directory with a local directory:
$ rsync -r -a -v -e “ssh -l username” –delete /local_dir hostname:/remote_dir

2. Make a Mount Point -
cd /media
sudo mkdir capsule

3. Interactive Mount Statement -
sudo mount.cifs //windowsShare/“TimeCapsuleName” /media/capsule/ -o pass=password

i. the windowsShare is the IP that you assign to the Time Capsule using your Apple AirPort Utility on a windows/mac machine,
ii. The ‘TimeCapsuleName’ is the name enclosed in double quotes is the name assigned to your Time Capsule when it it set up on the Windows/Mac.
iii. /media/capsule is the name of the mount point that you selected,
iv. password is replaced with whatever password you elected to use during the Airport configuration.
