If you enter a "c" when top is running (lower case) it will toggle between showing you the command name and the full command line. It's best if you also make the terminal window full screen before you run top.

How do I do that??
Normal rsync is not secure - the data is sent unencrypted. Running over ssh results in the data being encrypted. There is a security downside - exposing ssh potentially allows someone access to the destination machine if they can guess the user credentials. So you'd want a strong passwords (which is a good idea in any case).

No I'm not. What is the "big" advantage? Safety, but why and how.

Now the first one, incremental with new data gives an errorrsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes to socket [sender]: Connection timed out (60)

I'm not certain, but this may be a bug in the rsync server (on the destination machine). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/988144
