Basically you use rsync just like rcp, but rsync has many additional options.
Here is a brief description of available options:
Here is a brief description of rsync usage:
Options:
-v, --verbose increase verbosity
-c, --checksum always checksum
-a, --archive archive mode (same as -rlptDog)
-r, --recursive recurse into directories
-R, --relative use relative path names
-b, --backup make backups (default ~ extension)
-u, --update update only (don't overwrite newer files)
-l, --links preserve soft links
-L, --copy-links treat soft links like regular files
-H, --hard-links preserve hard links
-p, --perms preserve permissions
-o, --owner preserve owner (root only)
-g, --group preserve group
-D, --devices preserve devices (root only)
-t, --times preserve times
-S, --sparse handle sparse files efficiently
-n, --dry-run show what would have been transferred
-W, --whole-file copy whole files, no incremental checks
-x, --one-file-system don't cross filesystem boundaries
-B, --block-size SIZE checksum blocking size
-e, --rsh COMMAND specify rsh replacement
--rsync-path PATH specify path to rsync on the remote machine
-C, --cvs-exclude auto ignore files in the same way CVS does
--delete delete files that don't exist on the sending side
--force force deletion of directories even if not empty
--numeric-ids don't map uid/gid values by user/group name
--timeout TIME set IO timeout in seconds
-I, --ignore-times don't exclude files that match length and time
-T --temp-dir DIR create temporary files in directory DIR
-z, --compress compress file data
--exclude FILE exclude file FILE
--exclude-from FILE exclude files listed in FILE
--suffix SUFFIX override backup suffix
--version print version number
--daemon run as a rsync daemon
--config FILE specify alternate rsyncd.conf file
--port PORT specify alternate rsyncd port number

or rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST:SRC DEST
or rsync [OPTION]... SRC DEST
