Hi All I am trying to acomplish the following:
use CYGwin as an rsync emulator from my Local Windows computer to connect via SSH to a remote Unix based server for the purposes of backing up files. My PROBLEM: my server blocks port 22 for a small measure of security and uses a different port for example 2121 for ssh traffic. when using the rsync command from cygwin, there appears to be no way to force a different port as you can do when running the ssh command with the -p flag My Question: is there a way to change the deafult port that cygwin/rsync/ssh (not really sure which ) uses so that I can get my little batch file running with my rsync command to connect to my remote server? here is the rsync command I am using: rsync -avzun u...@[hostip]:/[DIRTOBACKUP] [/LocalBackupFolder/SubFolder] any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
