I am trying to use rsinc to tranfer my ftp directory from one server to
another. I have port 22 closed off due to port knocking and I am trying
to direct rsync to use another port. Unfortunately I can't seem to get
it to use the specified port. Here is my command, if someone could
point out my error I would appreciate it:
rsync -avr --port=XXX xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/var/ftp /var/ftp
The error this generates is:
ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection refused
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)
Thanks,
Ed
