You're fine. As long as port 22 is open, you're good to go. All traffic will be
encapsulated inside the ssh connection, which is from some non-privileged port on the
calling machine and port 22 on the server with sshd.

Subject: rsync and packet filters
Classification:
I'm having a problem with rsync while running on a machine that uses packet
filters (FreeBSD)... I presume this is because I need to permit out/in the
primary port that rsync uses -- but I'm not sure if it routes all traffic
through that port number or if it then uses unprivileged ports after
initial connection.
What port(s) should be opened?
This is being used as:
rsync -avz -e ssh some.machine.com:/usr/local/apache/ /local/machine
Thanks.
