rsync over different ssh port

[Ron McKown]

hey folks,
rsync is a great tool! i use it mostly to sync up Documents between several
machines. i use it like this:
rsync --progress -vrae ssh /home/bill/Graphics/
***@vortex:/home/rmckown/Graphics/

the problem i have, is i want to specifiy a specific ssh port other than 22.
i want to connect to a specific ssh server behind the firewall on the remote
end.

it would be nice to use the command like this:
rsync --progress -vrae ssh -p8022 /home/bill/Graphics/
***@vortex:/home/bill/Graphics/

anyone have any ideas?

Make a script; call it 'sshp' for this example:

% cat sshp
#!/bin/sh
exec ssh -p 8022 "$*"

and then run

rsync -av -e sshp <source> <dest>

Such a wrapper script is useful for including other options (-x, -a,
-o 'BatchMode yes', etc.).

Cheers --

If you just want to use the -p option you can always do:

rsync -av -e 'ssh -p 8022' <source> <dest>

Of course the script option is better if you don't want to type it
in all the time.

You're in luck. the argument to -e can be a quoted string.

rsync --progress -vrae 'ssh -p 8022' /home/bill/Graphics/
***@vortex:/home/bill/Graphics/
These hotshots thought of everything, didn't they?

I've even used it like this (from memory):

rsync -auvz -e 'ssh outside rsh' /home/whatever/ inside:/home/wherever

To get around the fact that I didn't have a port-forward from 'outside' to
'inside', but did have working .rhosts.

Cheers,
Roger.

Tim,
Currently I have rsync setup on hosta which syncs to
hostb. Rsync deletes whatever deleted from hosta and
copy and sync from hosta to hostb. Does rsync catch
changes made and sync hosta in case any changes are
made to hostb?

Please let me know.

Thanks
Raj

No. Rsync is unidirectional.
If you try to do it both ways, first, it's going to delete anything on
hostb that isn't on hosta, then make all the files on hostb just like
hosta. Then, if you try to go back the other way, all the changes on
hostb are already gone.
There is a product called "unison", which is made to do what you're asking
about. I don't know more about it than that it exists. A quick google
should get you to it.
Good luck.
