Lubuntu 18.04, rsync gives me ‘sh: rsync: command not found’ rsync version 3.1.2 is installed

I am trying to rsync the root folder of an iPhone over ssh into a folder at /home/Ryan/Downloads/iphone

$ rsync-e ssh root@192.168.0.74:/ /home/Ryan/Downloads/iphone

I then enter the password when printed and then receive this:

sh: rsync: command not found
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [reciever]
rsync error: remote command not found (code 127) at io.c(235) [reciever=3.1.2] 

I know that this is the correct IP and name for the device because I can use ssh by itself and use dir to show the folders within that I want to copy.
