Rsync with non-standard ssh ports

Posted on In QA

This problem appears when I try to rsync directories with hosts inside a cluster used NAT for forwarding ports to internal nodes. Hence, the ssh port for internal nodes are not the default 22. So, how to use rsync with the non-standard ssh ports?

The -e options of rsync play the trick very well. For example, to use ssh to example.com with port 13022:

$ rsync -avxP --delete -e "ssh -p 13022" 
you_username@example.com:/remote/path/ /local/path/
