Command Center

How do I change my rsync command port number while making backup to remote server at backup1.example.com port 10253 (my ssh server runs on port # 10253)?

The command to change port number is pretty simple:

sync -av -e 'ssh -p PORT-NUMBER-HERE' /path/to/source user@backup1.example.com

Backup /home/vivek to server1.nixcraft.net.in at port number 5000, enter:

 
rsync -av -e 'ssh -p 5000' /home/vivek backupop@server1.nixcraft.net.in
