rsync creates a temporary hidden file during a transfer, but the file is renamed when the transfer is complete. I would like to rsync files without creating a hidden file.

Using the rsync Command rsync is a powerful and convenient file-copying utility. It accepts two valuable options that allow us to include or exclude files during the copy: –include=PATTERN and –exclude=PATTERN. To skip hidden files and directories, we can pass the “. *” pattern to the –exclude option.

rsync -av /home/ME/myfile user@remoteserver: Then it would make a remote copy. In this case the location is relative to the home directory of the user. With no relative path given, the file will appear in that directory.
alvits is correct, --inplace will fix this for you. I found this when I had issues syncing music to my phone (mounted on ubuntu with jmtpfs). I would get a string of errors renaming the temporary files to replace existing files.
