Rsync File Transfer One-Liner

Quick Linux tip 💡

Want to download a super large file over SSH using rsync in Linux? This is the best one-liner you should bookmark

rsync -av --partial --inplace --append --progress root@server-ip:/file/location .

Basically it allows partial files to be transferred over, so that in the event the transfer gets interrupted you can restart from where it left off. Plus you get to see the progress of the transfer.
