hey friends,
I am trying to copy the contents of some directories(/opt & /home) on
my servers to another machine through rsync. The problem I am facing
is that ssh is very restricted in my domain that is
ssh is running on some other port(50,000)
only few users r allowed access.
rsync -pzv -e "ssh -l demo --port=50000" --progress demo@host::mail /home/demo/
demo.swx
demo is the user on other machine and it has the rights to do ssh, the
machine is running on port 50000
and the file i want to copy is demo.swx.Right now I am trying to copy
only one file but I need to copy few directories.
what should be the syntax of rsync for my scenario.
Thanks & Regards

I doubt that there is a direct solution.
I'd create a SSH tunnel to the machine, and run rsync on top of it (by
connecting to the local mirrored port).
ssh (-C) -L <local port>:<remote IP>:<remote port>
