Greetings,

I primarily use rsync to update remote hosts when source files are edited.
This means I push to rsync daemons listening on those remote hosts from my
source host when I need to (on demand).   This is much easier for me than
running a daemon on the source and executing pulls on all the remote hosts.
My problem is with the command line syntax of the rsync client.

for copying from a remote rsync server to the local machine (PULL).
rsync [OPTION]... [USER@]HOST::SRC [DEST] 
rsync [OPTION]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/SRC [DEST]

for copying from the local machine to a remote rsync server (PUSH). 
rsync [OPTION]... SRC [SRC]... [USER@]HOST::DEST

There is no url option for pushing to a server.  i.e.:
rsync [OPTION]...SRC [SRC]... rsync://[USER@]HOST[:PORT]/DEST

The problem: It seems there is no way to push to a rsync daemon if it is not
running on the default port.  I can not specify a port in the
'[USER@]HOST::DEST' syntax.  if you say 'HOST:PORT::DEST'  the single ':'
gets interpreted as the server module which is not found.  

Is there anyway to run an rsync daemon on a non standard port and still be
able to push stuff to it either with the '::' syntax or the url syntax?
Sorry, If this was covered recently.  I am new to the list.

Thanks in advance for any help
