Specify custom (ssh) port about rsyncwrapper HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey dude, thanks for your input!

The expected behaviour when providing a port number on as part of the host would be to respect the port. :)

Like you say, the way to use a non-default port in a standalone rsync command over ssh is to use the -e argument, so not 100% sure that the "expected" behaviour would be that a string like user@host:port would work ...

The way I use this is to set all ssh related options in a host alias entry in my ~/.ssh/config. You can set a port number in there too. Something like:

Host <host-name>
    HostName <fqdn>
    User <user-name>
    Port <port>
    Identityfile <private-key>
    IdentitiesOnly yes

If I made that intended usage more explicit in the readme would that suffice do you think?

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, that's what I'm doing now, too.

I definitely think a little reference like that in the docs would definitely save some people a bit of time. :)

Cheers, will do.
