your web proxy. Note that your web proxy's configuration must support
proxy connections to port 873.
+You may also establish a daemon connection using a program as a proxy by
+setting the environment variable RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG to the commands you
+wish to run in place of making a direct socket connection. The string may
+contain the escape "%H" to represent the hostname specified in the rsync
+command (so use "%%" if you need a single "%" in your string). For
+example:
+
+verb( export RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG='ssh proxyhost nc %H 873'
+ rsync -av targethost1::module/src/ /dest/
+ rsync -av rsync:://targethost2/module/src/ /dest/ )
+
+The command specifed above uses ssh to run nc (netcat) on a proxyhost,
+which forwards all data to port 873 (the rsync daemon) on the targethost
+(%H).

manpagesection(USING RSYNC-DAEMON FEATURES VIA A REMOTE-SHELL CONNECTION)
It is sometimes useful to use various features of an rsync daemon (such as
-E, --executability preserve executability
--chmod=CHMOD affect file and/or directory permissions
-A, --acls preserve ACLs (implies -p)
- -X, --xattrs preserve extended attrs (implies -p)
+ -X, --xattrs preserve extended attributes
-o, --owner preserve owner (super-user only)
-g, --group preserve group
--devices preserve device files (super-user only)
dit(bf(-X, --xattrs)) This option causes rsync to update the remote
extended attributes to be the same as the local ones. This will work
-only if the remote machine's rsync supports this option also. This is
-a non-standard option.
+only if the remote machine's rsync also supports this option.
dit(bf(--chmod)) This option tells rsync to apply one or more
comma-separated "chmod" strings to the permission of the files in the
see also the comments on the bf(--delete) option
