			<code> -z </code> - Compress the contents for transmission.

			<code> -P </code> - Show a progress bar, and resume interrupted transfers.

			<code>--delete</code> - By default, rsync doesn't delete anything. To truly sync a directory, add the --delete flag, and rsync will delete files to keep the source and destination directories the same. (Note: Use the -n flag with this command first, to confirm that rsync will delete only what you want it to delete.)
