• #!/bin/bash: This is the shebang line that specifies the interpreter to use to execute the script.
• SOURCE="[email protected]:/path/to/large/files/": This sets the source path for the files to be downloaded. Replace "user" with the remote server's username and "remote.host" with the server's hostname or IP address. Replace "/path/to/large/files/" with the path to the folder or files you want to download.
• DESTINATION="/path/to/local/folder": This sets the local destination path where the files will be downloaded to.
• OPTIONS="-avh --progress --partial": These are the rsync options we will be using. Here's what each option means:
  • -a: archive mode, which preserves symbolic links, permissions, ownership, timestamps, and recursive copying.
  • -v: verbose mode, which displays the progress of the transfer.
  • -h: human-readable mode, which displays file sizes in a more readable format.
  • --progress: displays a progress bar for each transfer.
  • --partial: resumes partial transfers if the transfer is interrupted.
• rsync $OPTIONS $SOURCE $DESTINATION: This runs the rsync command with the specified options, source, and destination.

This script will download files from a remote server using rsync and save them to a local folder, with the ability to resume interrupted transfers. Note that you will need to have rsync installed on your local machine to run this script.
