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

when you need to send files through a specific SSH port:

rsync -azP -e "ssh -p PORT_NUMBER" source destination

example

rsync -azP -e "ssh -p 2121" /path/to/files/source user@remoteip:/path/to/files/destination
