Automated Backups SSH Delivery Non Standard Port

Virtualmin

Hey Joe,

Thanks for the quick answer concerning incremental backups being integrated into the domain backups.

Got another request / thought.

How hard would it be to add a tcp port option in the backups section so we could specify a non standard port for ssh delivery?

Here’s my scenerio…

I’ve got a Cisco PIX firewall. It listens on TCP22 for admin functions. Can’t change it to another port.

So, my ssh server which shares the interface’s ip address has to use a non standard port.

I’d like to send backups to it, but can’t since there is no port option.

Thoughts?

You can already do that. Just stick :port on the end of the address (I think). So, virtualmin.com:2222 for example.
