rsync +ssh on different port?
 

hi,

i want to connect via rsync to remote machine with ssh running on different port

can u assist me?

thanks,
Ross

The syntax you want is, for example:

rsync -av --progress --inplace --rsh='ssh -p8023' somefile user@host:somedir/

In the example above, rsync will use ssh on port 8023.

thank u macemoneta,

that is what i need :)

Me, too. Thanks dude (2 years late, but hey, better late than never! :p)

Me, too. Thanks dude (4 years late + 282 days, but hey, better late than never! :p)

It can even be shortcut when you have a ~/.ssh/config:and issue:Although the thread is old, the usage and technics still apply.

Thanks for the tip, 5+ years in the future! :)

Ahh .. still works ..
 

The command above with the 'rsh' option still works for me .. Yayyy !!!

Thank You. From 2011!

Edit: I just subscribe to say: Thanks =)

Let me register here just to thank you from the future, as the other people here.

Many thanks - now I can backup my IPCop Update Accelerator cache, damned if I could figure this out from the rsync man page.

Nice
 

Thanks dude....;)

Ok so this is the norm here, so I posting to say thanks for the tip, it is still working in 2012 :)

Thank you from the future !!!

Thanks. I am from six years later.

The response from macemoneta (#2) helped me too. Thank you!

thanks from 2012

I registered just to say.. Thanks dude!

I'm from 2 days before the end of the world :D

The world is not over.
Thanks from 2013

Thanks
 

It's the future here, and I want to thank you for this, it's awesome.

Thanks!
 

keeping up traditions 7 years later

One more thank from the furture here.

I just registered to tell you tnx! 7 years and 7 days later this was just what I was needed.

an other thing you can do, 7 years later, is to create a config file in your ~/.ssh/ directory along these lines:

this way when you ssh user@my_url.com you do not need to pass the -p flag at all, this includes your rsync.

Hey! From July 2013 - thanks macemoneta - still working :)

(and rsync still does not have a more expedite way!
Also thanks lleb for the tip. Very good.

(I hate to register in forums... this is an exception for tradition sake only!)

Here from seven years later to give thanks for all contributors, and to add my little coin:

To use rsync using a key:

rsync -av --progress --inplace --rsh='ssh -p8023 -i /somepath/private.key' somefile user@host:somedir/

check out my sig on the HOW TO create a config file for your ssh. This way you can rsync -<options> user@server without having to worry about quoting and ports ext...

thanks

remember this is not an rsync issue, but a ssh issue. you are using rsync over ssh. this is why i setup the config file and never have to muck with it again.

2014 and it still works. Thanks!

Thank you ;-)

Thank you from 2014 ! :)

Many thanks from 2015! :-)

2015 -- over a decade later, and this post is still relevant! :-)

from Sept. 2015, thanks! :)

From near 10 years in the future, I must thank you. The sentence just save my day ;)

Thanks.
It's Thu 18 Feb 22:55:40 GMT 2016. You've been helping people get their rsync right for almost 10 years now :)

Thanks from almost 12 years later
 

Thanks from almost 12 years later
:D

Me too. Thanks dude (Really almost 12 years later (just a few days), but hey, better late than never!)

For me the rsync --rsh thing didn't work on my mac. Using the config solution here.

So, Thanks dude (Really more than 6 years later, but hey, better late than never!)


(And I too subscribed especially to say thank you.

Hope all is fine with all you out there!

Me, too. Thanks dude (13 years, 2 months, 16 days late, but hey, better late than never!) :p

hehehehe




Seriously though, thanks macemoneta! You haven't been on since 02/20/2017 but I hope you're alive and proud of the help you've provided to thousands over the last decade and a half. God bless your soul.
