That will use the default port on the remote host, you can override that without specifying the -e if required using -p <port>.

So not there yet. :( From 'man rsync':
-p, --perms This option causes the receiving rsync to set the destination permissions to be the same as the source per- missions.
Try this:
rsync -ah --stats --delete root@192.168.129.2:613:/etc/dhcp/ /home/rgm/data/htt/httnet/homebase/new/dhcp
SSh is not parsing the port the way http does, it seems:
$ rsync -ah --stats root@192.168.129.2:613:/etc/dhcp/ /home/rgm/data/htt/httnet/homebase/new/dhcp ssh: connect to host 192.168.129.2 port 22: No route to host rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) [Receiver=3.1.1]
The reason why I change my SSH port is a simple way to keep port knocker robots away. Different hosts use different ports...
