Direction (rsync manpage)

[Plato]

Hello,

In the rsync manpage I read:
	A < means that a file is being transferred to the remote host (sent). 
and
	A > means that a file is being transferred to the local host (received).
In my experience it is just the other way around:
 A ">" means form source, the local host, to destination, the remote host. Also being transferred to the remote host / ohter harddisk / destination field DEST or am I missing something?
