pulling data from the server

[David Bigagli -Bokis-]

Hello,
      the man page lists as valid argument:

rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST]

but if I do it I still have problems.

94:david at u050 /export/david> rsync --port 9876 -v u018::treeA
/export/david
Ahoj!

client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the
--recursive option?

Can somebody please send me couple of examples?

Thank you,
	   David
