 Using rsync in this way is the same as using it with a remote shell except
 that:
 
-- you either use a double colon :: instead of a single colon to separate the
-  hostname from the path, or you use an rsync:// URL.
-- the first word of the "path" is actually a module name.
-- the remote daemon may print a message of the day when you connect.
-- if you specify no path name on the remote daemon then the list of accessible

-- if you specify no local destination then a listing of the specified files on

-- you must not specify the [`--rsh`](#opt) (`-e`) option (since that overrides

+- Use either double-colon syntax or rsync:// URL syntax instead of the

+- The first word of (at least) the first "path" is actually a module name.
+- Additional remote source args use an abbreviated syntax as discussed in

+- The remote daemon may print a "message of the day" when you connect.
+- If you specify only the host (with no module or path) then a list of

+- If you specify a remote source path but no destination, a listing of the

+- The [`--rsh`](#opt) (`-e`) option must be omitted to avoid changing the
