rsync --checksum --human-readable --archive --verbose --compress --partial --progress --rsh=ssh <host>:<remote-path> <local-path>

Options:
  --checksum: skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size
  --human-readable: output numbers in a human-readable format
  --archive: archive mode; same as -rlptgoD (no -H)
    -r, --recursive: recurse into directories
    -l, --links: copy symlinks as symlinks
    -p, --perms: preserve permissions
    -t, --times: preserve modification times
    -g, --group: preserve group
    -o, --owner: preserve owner (super-user only)
    -D: same as --devices --specials
      --devices: preserve device files (super-user only)
      --specials: preserve special files
  --verbose: increase verbosity
  --compress: compress file data during the transfer
  --partial: keep partially transferred files
  --progress: show progress during transfer
  --rsh=COMMAND: specify the remote shell to use

* Note: if <path> ends with /, the specified directory is not included in the copy, just its contents (recursively). I.e., to copy a remote "folder" to a local "folder", without copying the folder itself, include a trailing "/" in the remote path.
