Question
Copy files between to NAS using SSH and rsync and point to a specific folder on the nas'ses

How do I point to the right directory in the command line without getting syntax errors? Eg. The target directory is “Movies”, that is a subdirectory to “Shared Videos”, that is a subdirectory to “Public”. The same question applies to the directory on the source NAS.
The command I want to use is this: rsync -azP [SOURCE DIRECTORY] admin@[IP ADDRESS OF YOUR NEW NAS]:[SOURCE DIRECTORY]
Thanks.
