rsynch's purpose is to speed up file transfer by NOT re-transferring
files that already exist on both sides. From how you describe your
problem, it doesn't look like there are identical files on both
computers, then rsync will not speedup anything.

In that case, you will get a higher throughput with scp. 

man scp
