That doesn't really matter. I'll may cost on disk I/O, but rsync's
checksumming algorithms will detect that the file contents on
both ends are the same and fix up the timestamps and permissions
on the destination side.
rsync -avP --exclude=.Trash/ /local/dir remotehost:/target
This will create /target/dir on the remote host.
