In such cases, rsync can still be used without any issues by specifying the custom SSH port in the command. Why Use a Non-Standard SSH Port Many administrators change the default SSH port to reduce unauthorized access and automated attacks. When a server uses a custom port, tools that rely on SSH must be told which port to use. Rsync supports this easily through command-line …
