INTERNAL OPTIONS The options --server and --sender are used internally by rsync, and should never be typed by a user under normal circumstances. Some aware‐ ness of these options may be needed in certain scenarios, such as when setting up a login that can only run an rsync command. For instance, the support directory of the rsync distribution has an example script named rrsync (for restricted rsync) that can be used with a restricted ssh login.
