I already used --recursive

A couple of key words in the message.

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

If you had specified a filename (that exists on the server)
and the client gets nothing
There is a good chance that you wanted to use --recursive.

In /usr/share/doc/rsync/README.gz:

Well what if you don't have web access? You don't mention what to do
then.  "Send bugs to rsync at lists.samba.org" probably. OK. Will do.
Here's one now:

   $ rsync -avz debian.linux.org.tw:var/lib/apt/diet.lists
var/lib/apt/diet.lists
   receiving file list ... link_stat var/lib/apt/diet.lists : No such
   file or directory done
   client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or
   the --recursive option?

It turns out I spelled the input filename wrong.
The bug? Telling me to try --recursive when as everybody knows,
   -a, --archive               archive mode, equivalent to -rlptgoD
   -r, --recursive             recurse into directories
So I already was trying --recursive!
