If you want to rsync data from/to a remote server with ssh, you could do something like this:
rsync -av [email protected]:/backup/* /storage/monday/
But what if ssh listens on port 2222?
rsync -av --rsh='ssh -p2222' [email protected]:/backup/* /storage/monday/
But what if you need sudo permissions?
Server-side configuration (/etc/sudoers)
#sudo access for myusername running rsync backup myusername ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/rsync
Client-side:
rsync -av --rsh='ssh -p2222' --rsync-path="sudo rsync" [email protected]:/backup/* /storage/monday/ .
And in case you want to include multiple directories:
rsync -av --rsh='ssh -p2222' --rsync-path="sudo rsync" [email protected]:{/backup,/root,/etc} /storage/monday/
