I tried:
rsync -v -v -e 'ssh -p YY' ./testfile me@XXXXX:/home
Error Message

_exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=600): about to call exit(12)
This works fine:
ssh -p YY me@XXXXX
Which suggests to me the problem is neither that sshd
is not running nor that port YY is firewalled. I have checked anyway.
What other problems could there be?
EDIT: The problem seems to have been "self resolving." I could not replicate the following day. I started my local computer up. Perhaps notably I had a different IP address than last time. And now rsync magically works. I'd appreciate guesses as to what it could have been in light of it going away.
/home
of the remote server?
