Brent, I believe what you really want is: rsync -a -e 'ssh -p 8080' [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/spare2/wayne_mail..tar.gz wayne_mail..tar.gz The port number specification in the src/dest arguments is only if you are using rsync-over-tcp protocol. If using SSH (or other remote-shell protocol), you need to specify it in the argument to -e. -- Coleman Kane
