 Syncing with Non-Standard SSH Ports 

 It's generally good practice to run SSH services on non-standard ports so that they can't be (as) easily port-scanned and attacked. If you need to use RSync with a non standard port you can tell it any extra ssh arguments it needs to know about via the -e argument as explained in this article ( mirror ): 

 rsync -arvz \

 -e 'ssh -p <port-number>' \

 --progress --delete \

 user@remote-server:/path/to/remote/folder /path/to/local/folder
