I was trying to do "rsync -a root@machine2:/somedirectory ."
There are multiple directories under the tree and yes many files.
also tried "scp -r root@machine2:/somedirectory ." with the same result of
too many files.

First, back up the files to somewhere else on the same machine just in
case...
Then, consider doing a proper recursive tar or zip that preserves
permissions etc and dust the rest and then do it as only a single file or
thereabouts
rsync -a knows as much or more about permissions, etc. as tar and zip
do. And it is vastly more efficient when you repeat it to the same
destination.
