Sorry - the command should really be more like:
rsync -essh -av root@machineB:/ .
If you specify a directory as the target, you must specify recursive
also, but '-a' is a special option that includes many of the other
options, including recursion. You probably also want --one-file-system
or some --excludes to avoid taking /proc, though.
