Hello there everyone. I'm trying to set up a server that will "push"
via rsync every night to a server in my home. The verizon firewall is
quite robust, and it makes connecting a bit tricky. Does anyone have
any tips on how I might set this up?
Personally, I've set sshd to listen on port 443 (since I don't serve
HTTP over SSL and most firewalls don't forbid HTTPS), by adding the
following lines to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
Port 22 # listen on the default
Port 443 # also listen on what's normally the https port
Then rsync can be used via:
$ rsync -e 'ssh -p 443' [etc] local/path/ hostname:
Or you can add configuration to ~/.ssh/config:
Host hostname
Port 443
$ rsync [etc] local/path/ hostname:
Or even assign a shorter name ~/.ssh/config:
Host bak # Host = what's typed in an ssh-related command
Hostname hostname # Hostname = what hostname is actually used
Port 443
$ rsync [etc] local/path/ bak:
