Is it possible to specify a different ssh port when using rsync?

Question

I have been attempting the following command:

rsync -rvz --progress --remove-sent-files ./dir user@host:2222/path

SSH is running on port

Answer 1

Another option, in the host you run rsync from, set the port in the ssh config file, ie:

cat ~/.ssh/config
Host host
    Port 2222

Then rsync over ssh will talk to port 2222:

rsync -rvz --progress --remove-sent-files ./dir user@host:/path
