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

I found this solution on Mike Hike Hostetler's site that worked perfectly for me.

# rsync -avz -e "ssh -p $portNumber" user@remoteip:/path/to/files/ /local/path/
