It falls back to sorting by highest score if no posts are trending.
From your local machine:
From your local machine with a non standard ssh port:
Or from the remote host, assuming you really want to work this way and your local machine is listening on SSH:
See man rsync for an explanation of my usual switches.

@cmcdragonkai: indeed, the local host must be running an ssh server and be accessible to the remote host. This is one of the reasons that I prefer the first solution over the second. - johnsyweb

Be careful when rsyncing with trailing slashes. The command given by Johnnysweb would create a directory called copy inside /path/to/local/storage. Like so /path/to/local/storage/copy. If that's what you want great. However a more common scenario is you want to copy the contents of the remote directory into a directory in your local. Then you would do /path/to/copy/ which would place the contents inside the directory /path/to/local/storage without creating a local copy directory. - chap

I came here for an rsync command and I came away with explainshell.com. Thanks @beefsack! - Cyphase

If you have SSH access, you don't need to SSH first and then copy, just use Secure Copy (SCP) from the destination.
Wild card characters are supported, so
will copy all of the remote files in that folder.If copying more then one directory.
note -r will copy all sub-folders and content too.

Why use scp rather than rsync? Also, watch that your shell doesn't try to expand user@host:/path/folder/*, perhaps by using single quotes ('). - johnsyweb

I know what scp is, that wasn't my question. Why didn't you use rsync? This is what is what the question asks for, doesn't require an established SSH session and is often faster and more efficient than scp. - johnsyweb

Remember, scp follows symlinks instead of copying them. This can lead to copying more then you expect and in loss of symlinks (they become normal folders/files). - Mondane

Mondane's response is precisely the reason I found this post. Normally, I use scp for everything, but I needed to preserve permissions and symlink from server to server. Also, the speed difference (bc my newbie self definitely scped first) was vast. - kyle

Also rsync is much faster than scp. - Mostafa Hadian

I think it is better to copy files from your local computer, because if files number or file size is very big, copying process could be interrupted if your current ssh session would be lost (broken pipe or whatever). Ua-7.com
If you have configured ssh key to connect to your remote server, you could use the following command:
Where v option is --verbose, a option is --archive - archive mode, P option same as --partial - keep partially transferred files, e option is --rsh=COMMAND - specifying the remote shell to use.
