[GRLUG] Dumb rsync question

OK, .. I'm trying to rsync a single file from a directory to a remote 
host, .. IME I thought rsync used the entire argument as the source, 
however it appears that rsync is separating the path from the 
filename - i.e. the file gets transferred to the user root directory, 
and the path gets stripped!

rsync -av public_html/lee remote:

"lee" arrives in the user home directory, instead of in "public_html" 
UNDER that user home directory. How does one preserve the target path 
of "public_html"?

	TIA,

	Lee
