Re: [Duplicity-talk] Alternate Port Problem

Hi Jon,

you might try *--ssh-options="-p 2222"
or
even more elegant, especially necessary if there are ssh daemons running 
on different ports on the same machine (e.g. forwarded port to internal 
server on dsl router w/ sshd):
(create &) modify ~/.ssh/config, add the following

host unique_name_here
hostname ip_or_hostname_here
Port 2222
UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/uniqefilename

now on the next ssh connection simply use the **entered _unique_name_ *
*
which additionally solves "strict checking" error where the Host key 
verification fails. Of course you could disable strict checking ;) but 
why open security holes if you can work around it.

hope that helped ..ede
