I'm setting up some synchronization at work and am being blocked by MonMotha's firewall, as I should. I was wondering what port(s) i need to open on the firewall to be able to rsync across it.
I am able to use ssh as the transport, i.e. rsync -avvz -e ssh /copy/thisfromhere/ 10.0.0.66:/tothis/directory but I can't do it with rsh, i.e. without the '-e ssh'. I've tried opening ports 514 and 1023, but still could not connect. Maybe I could use ssh, but I'd like to script this in a cron job. Is that possible? TIA, dean
