The rsync-ssl script helps you to run an rsync copy to/from an rsync daemon
that requires ssl connections.
+The script requires that you specify an rsync-daemon arg in the style of either
+`hostname::` (with 2 colons) or `rsync://hostname/`. The default port used for
+connecting is 874 (one higher than the normal 873) unless overridden in the
+environment. You can specify an overriding port via `--port` or by including
+it in the normal spot in the URL format, though both of those require your
+rsync version to be at least 3.2.0.
+
# OPTIONS
If the **first** arg is a `--type=SSL_TYPE` option, the script will only use
required for this particular option.
All the other options are passed through to the rsync command, so consult the
-**rsync** manpage for more information on how it works.
+**rsync**(1) manpage for more information on how it works.
