Just to clarify, if you need some funky tunnel option, like using rsh or a specific ssh option, you can use -e to specify the tunnel and options to use. If everything you need is in your ssh_config (which is usually the case anyhow), you can drop the -e option and just use the normal scp-like source and destination format: rsync -av u...@host.com:/path/at/remote /path/local The scp-like URI will be enough to tell rsync to start ssh, tell the remote side to start an rsync daemon listening on the ssh tunnel, and proceed to sync via the tunnel. Rsync will only use the unencrypted rsync port if you use an rsync:// URI, or you put two colons in your scp-like URI, like so: rsync -av user@host::/path/at/remote /path/local Grazie, ;-Daniel /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
