To +synchronize a directory, mark all in the directory and rsync all +marked to the destination directory. + +The options are configurable through `helm-rsync-switches', but +you can modify them on the fly when needed by using a prefix arg, +in this case you will be prompted for modifications. *** Bookmark the `helm-find-files' session |
