I understand from the docs (attached below) that by default, filter rules apply to both sides. 



An s is used to indicate that the rule applies to the  sending  side.
When  a  rule  affects the sending side, it prevents files from being
transferred.  The default is for a rule to affect both  sides  unless
--delete-excluded  was  specified, in which case default rules become
sender-side only.  See also the hide (H) and show  (S)  rules,  which
are an alternate way to specify sending-side includes/excludes.

An r is used to indicate that the rule applies to the receiving side.
When a rule affects the receiving side, it prevents files from  being
deleted.  See the s modifier for more info.  See also the protect (P)
and  risk  (R)  rules,  which  are  an  alternate  way   to   specify
receiver-side includes/excludes.
