rsync -avz --delete --force /home/Music [email protected]:/home/pc2/Music

I agree with the darkwizard that you should look up how to use the rsync command. For scp when you're having issues you can get more information by adding a -v argument. If your issue is still not addressed you can increase the verbosity level by adding a second v character or a -vv which will give more information fed to the terminal screen. And finally, there's -vvv for the full debugging verbosity.

You will need to be able to scroll back through the output or add a |less if the scroll back isn't possible.
