Congrats on getting it working and thanks for sharing the solution.

Now you've got something working I would suggest you look to improve it with Wheel's original suggestion of moving to RSync. It's better because it's secure (it'll run over an encrypted secure shell session) and also it'll only copy over what's needed, e.g. anything that's new or has changed, which makes it a lot quicker.
