How can one specify a different ssh port when using rsync?
Hello,
I currently have a number of ReadyNAS Pro 6000 series NAS devices (RNDP6000). [I bought them last year, not knowing there was a newer, shinier, better model coming out shortly thereafter.] Either way, however, I am having issues with rsync over ssh. In short, is it possible to specify a different ssh port when using rsync in FrontView?
Here are a few important facts
1) I can not use ssh port 22. My setup requires I use port numbers other than port 22
2) I can not have the router port forward to port 22 from an arbritrary external port as the source computer hosts a number of virtual machines and port 22 goes to a different virtual host which does not need to be backed-up. In short I can't get port forwarding tricks to work in this setup.
3) I do not want to use rsync without ssh as I value the encryption
4) I am using the RNDP6000 as the target device for the backup -- the source of the data is coming from a linux server (Redhat)
5) Because the source data is coming from a non-NAS devices, options such as Replicate are not an option
I have tried a combination of the following for the FrontView rsync over ssh host address: mymachine.com:26, mymachine.com -p 26, mymachine.com, 26 where 26 is an example port number.
Has anyone gotten this to work? I find it hard to belive that this can not be configured. But perhaps that is the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

- You could edit config files using SSH but they might be overridden by a future firmware update.
- Yeah, I have thought of doing that. But I am still under warranty and to edit the config files I would need to login as root. My understanding is that, this will invalidate the warranty. :(
- It doesn't invalidate the warranty. However if you break stuff using SSH they may deny support.
