rsync -avzP -e ssh ip_of_source:/home /

This will copy all (including sub-directories) from source to
destination represented by the "/" If you are sitting at source then
you need:
rsync -avzP -e ssh /home ip_of_destination:/

man rsync for excellent information. Trailing "/" will not copy copy
sub-directories.
