title: rsync mkdir failed permission denied
body: <p>I'm running PuTTy ssh on windows in the hope to copy a file from a remote server. 
  The command I used is below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>rsync -avz user@server:/home/user/imitate/tool /home/tool
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I received the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>rsync: mkdir "/home/tool" failed: Permission denied (13)
  rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(605) [Receiver=3.0.9]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm totally new to this and I have no idea what is happening. So I logged into an account on a remote server using ssh, and want to copy files from that remote server to the laptop I'm using. What should I do?</p>
