... what's the problem

the problem is that 'local/file/path doesn't exist on your rasberry pi. nor does /solo/path exist on your solo.

the code isn't literal, it is just to show you how it is done. @hamishwillee i guess this should be made more clearer.

example
rasberry pi /orhong/mycode/mycode.py
solo /mycode

rsync -avz /orhong/mycode/. [email protected]:/mycode
this will copy mycode.py from /orhong/mycode to the solo at /mycode. if mycode doesen't exist it will be created.

also if you don't need advanced python bundling you should be using solo script pack and solo script run instead.

@orhong As @franknitty69 says, the local/file/path/ and /solo/path/ are a very common shorthand for "the file path for what you want to copy" and "the target location where you want to copy the file"

Would the following have been more clear for you (and you @franknitty69)?

rsync -avz source-file-path-on-local-computer [email protected]:/destination-file-path-on-solo

If you're working with python then the best tool to use is solo cli - see http://dev.3dr.com/starting-installing.html#installing-packages-using-the-solo-client

I think I'll reorganise the page to make that clear as python is probably the main use case.
