• Verify that a recent version of rsync is installed on your local machine.
• Verify that the specified hostname corresponds to the correct storage location (e.g., vny, cpm, or ams). The rsync hostname assigned to your account is listed on the RSYNC page.
• Verify the command used to transfer your content matches the syntax defined below.
