Sometimes, we need to download or upload data on server then we will use rsync for Linux server. But if when you connect to a server then you need to use ssh with a specific port then how you will do it? Yes, I will help you with it. You can also use the port number with Rsync ubuntu command.

So, let's see the solution below:

rsync without Port

rsync -avz /path/local/files root@:0.0.0.0:/path/on/my/server

rsync with Specific Port

We will add -p option to specify port number.

rsync -rvz -e 'ssh -p 18765' --progress /path/local/files/uploadZipFile.zip root@:0.0.0.0:/www/example.com/uploadZipFile -p 18765

/path/local/files: this is the path of local file that you want to upload on server.

root: this is a username of your linux server.

0.0.0.0: this is a ip address of your linux server.

/www/example.com/uploadZipFile: this is the path of server folder where you upload file on server.

-p: specify port number.
