Fixed a few typos. (I think maybe the title could do with clarifying too, but I don't know enough about rsync or understand this question well enough to do it myself.)

Rsync protocol name full path, not a module

Is it possible to name the full path to source directory in rsync command instead of the name of the module?

For example:

rsync -av rsync://10.171.73.23/home/user/work/tests .

instead of:

rsync -av rsync://10.171.73.23/ftp/work/tests .

(ftp is a module from /etc/rsyncd.conf)

When trying the first version I get @ERROR: Unknown module 'home'
