+==== rsync command ====
+You may transfer files between your workstation and Cypress on the command line using the '''rsync''' command. The syntax is as follows:
+{{{
+rsync source_file destination_file
+}}}
+
+The following command will copy the file testfile from the ''/home/tulaneID/'' directory on the remote server ''cypress1.tulane.edu'' to your workstation's local directory "." (a period represents the current working directory).
+{{{
+user@localhost> rsync tulaneID@cypress1.tulane.edu:/home/tulaneID/testfile .
+}}}
+
+To copy a directory along with all its contents you will need to add the '''-r''' recursive flag. The following command will copy the ''simdata directory'' and all its contents to your local machine.
+{{{
+user@localhost> rsync -r tulaneID@cypress1.tulane.edu:/home/tulaneID/simdata .
+}}}
