I don't think my first posting on this was very clear. Let me try again. I am trying to `rsync -e ssh' with a work machine "B" from my laptop at home. I only have direct access from home to work machine "A". For ordinary use of `ssh' and `scp' I use port forwarding via "A" to "B" from my laptop when I use it from home. Thus, in the background on my laptop (when I'm home), I have running: `ssh -N A.WorkDomain -L N:B:22' where N is the localhost (laptop) port number that I want to forward, and "A.WorkDomain" is the fully qualified name of my work machine "A". This allows me to do things like: `ssh localhost -p N' and `scp -P N localhost:/tmp/foo /tmp' which then connects "directly" to "B" at work (via "A"). But now I need to rsync a directory on B to my laptop at home using `rsync -e ssh'. Were my laptop at work, I'd just do (say): `rysnc -a -e ssh --delete B:/tmp/ /tmp/' since from work I have direct access to "B". But from home I must do something like rysnc -p N -a -e ssh --delete localhost:/tmp/ /tmp/ The problem is that there doesn't appear to be any such "port flag" for rsync. I just missing the flag among the gajillion or so rsync flags? If not, how does one do this?
