Rsync is not syncing properly?

So I run the command:

edmund@cat:/images/edmund/gallery$ rsync -rzvO --exclude='.svn' ./ [email protected]:/images/edmund/gallery/

My local directory is empty, while the directory on the remote server is full of pics. This is the result of running the command:

    sending incremental file list

    sent 24 bytes  received 12 bytes  5.54 bytes/sec
    total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

However, nothing is in my folder. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Could it be an SSH issue?

If you are on the local server which has no pictures you need to connect to the remote server. You need to reverse your syntax:

edmund@cat:/images/edmund/gallery$ rsync -rzvO --exclude='.svn' [email protected]:/images/edmund/gallery/ ./

Syntax is rsync [Source] [Destination]. See man page for rsync.
