Hi

Could anyone please help me with rsync

Im running ssh on port 8080, and I cant get rsync to connect.

Ive tried

rsync -a --port=8080 bclark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:/spare2/wayne_mail..tar.gz
wayne_mail..tar.gz

rsync -a -e ssh bclark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:8080:/spare2/wayne_mail..tar.gz
wayne_mail..tar.gz

Kind Regards

Brent,

I believe what you really want is:
rsync -a -e 'ssh -p 8080' bclark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:/spare2/wayne_mail..tar.gz wayne_mail..tar.gz

The port number specification in the src/dest arguments is only if you are
using rsync-over-tcp protocol. If using SSH (or other remote-shell protocol),
you need to specify it in the argument to -e.
