Rsync error: The source and destination cannot both be remote

I am able to Rsync files from my remote server to my local machine. 

rsync -av [remote-server]:web/wp-content/uploads 

Users/[username]/Documents/workprojects/iis-tech/web/wp-content

Thats fine, but when I try to rsync from my local machine to my remote server I get the following error:

The source and destination cannot both be remote. rsync error: syntax or usage error

The command I am running is as follows:

rsync -av /Users/[username]/Documents/workprojects/[project-folder]/web/wp-content/themes/reactify/js/build/

[remote-server]:web/wp-content/themes/reactify/js/build

I separated the command for readability.

I am using Platform.sh as the host if that makes a difference, but I don't think that is the issue.

The reason why I am confused is because my coworkers are able to run the same command successfully. Any help is appreciated!
