Rsync to just upload new/updated files without comparing source/destination

[Kevin Korb]

The "ssh" in that command is a second source parameter to be copied (and
then deleted).  using ssh as the transport has been the default for at
least 15 years and the option to tell it to use ssh was either -e ssh or
--rsh=ssh

BTW, -r is included in -a.  Also, -v isn't of much use without -i.

I would suggest that if you are going to use cygwin's rsync you should
do so from within cygwin's shell.  OTOH, I would also suggest that if
you are on windows you should use something native to windows like unison.
