You need the / before home

rsync -h --progress --stats -r -tgo -p -l -D --update --delete-after --protect-args -e "ssh -i /location/to/file.pem" account@sub.domain.com:/home/account/file.any /local/location/to/store/file/

  • Thank you for your interest, I was not able to connect because the port was wrong,, May I ask how to add the port to the command? – Ahmed Reda Apr 19 '19 at 12:45
  • Your original command failed because you had the wrong path, if it was the wrong port you would have seen `Connection refused` or a timeout. To add the port you would just need to add it to the ssh section of your command `rsync -h --progress --stats -r -tgo -p -l -D --update --delete-after --protect-args -e "ssh -p [port number] -i /location/to/file.pem" account@sub.domain.com:/home/account/file.any /local/location/to/store/file/ ` – Bob Dole May 10 '19 at 20:35
