# Syncing Content

```bash
rsync -avur --chown=docker:docker /path/to_local_location/ user@remote.adress.org:/path/to_remote_location/
```

:::warning
## Mind the Trailing Slash (/) in rsync Paths

When using rsync, the presence or absence of a trailing slash (/) on the source path changes how files are copied:


- ✅ With a trailing slash (/path/to/local_dir/):

  → rsync copies the contents of the directory into the destination.

  (This is what you usually want.)

- ⚠️ Without a trailing slash (/path/to/local_dir):

  → rsync copies the entire folder itself (as a subdirectory) into the destination.

  (This can accidentally create an extra nested folder.)
