Test example. I need to sync a directory from my machine to another that is using port 722 rather than 22. I can use ssh -pm722, scp -P 722 fine but I prefer rsync for the backup due to configuration flexibility. The man says: rsync [OPTION...] SRC... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST Which I translate to something like: rsync -avz /almacen/testDir rsync://backupMachine.com:722/backup/ but I get the following: rsync: server sent "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.1p1 FreeBSD-20080901" rather than greeting rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1504) [sender=3.0.4] I've tried variants to the point of no return. Help would be appreciated. Thanks, ed
