[unison-users] Non Standard SSH port

[[e-mail] [unison-users]]

Hi,

New user and I've been doing some testing with the Unison, and think it's
great. I'm looking at using it between remote sites. I know it works
through SSH which is great ...

unison a.tmp ssh://remotehostname/a.tmp

but what if you're running SSH on something other that the default port of
22 (ex. Port 2222). In the Unison command that calls the synch through
ssh, can you specify which port to use for that protocol, or will it
always default to port 22?

Thanks,
Jeremy

There are a few ways to skin this cat:

edit your .ssh/config file

Host remotehostname
Port 2222

man ssh_config

or

edit your .unison/profile.prf

sshargs = -p 2222

zless unison-manual.txt.gz

I'm sure there are other less standard ways, too.

which turns into "-sshargs '-p 2222'" on the command line, I think.

Yet another way is to say


unison a.tmp ssh://remotehostname:2222/a.tmp

(BTW, In a similar manner you can also specify a deviating user name: ssh://***@remotehost/)
