Yes. You told it to copy all of the files in /var/CONTROL and it did so.
If you did not want it to copy all the files do not tell it to copy all
the files. 
Note that if you give rsync a directory name, it will copy over all the
files and directories under that directory ( and watch what happens if
you terminate with a / or not) . If you give it a filename it will copy
just that file.

Great. There you have 10000 files you want to transfer and you have to
pick them out one by one.

IF you have one or two files to transfer and you forgot their name, mc
is a good idea. If not, it is pretty terrible. 
One advantage of rsync is that it also hashes the file to make sure it
got transferred correctly. 
But use whatever tools you want.
