I always just use -o port=<xx> for this reason.

  Wait, lower case 'o' works?

    Looks like I've got BSD SSH installed. From `man ssh`: -o option Can be used to give options in the format used in the configura‐ tion file. This is useful for specifying options for which there is no separate command-line flag. For full details of the op‐ tions listed below, and their possible values, see ssh_config(5). `Port` is on the list underneath. So I think the idea is you run ssh -o <option_name> <option_value> where the first can be `--port`. This looks like it will be really handy for me for the exact reason GP said.

  I use rsync with -e 'ssh -p PORT', so that I can also have the ability to resume just in case :D, interesting how everyone has a different solution ^^, let's see how many ways of doing the same thing can we collect in this thread

    Another one is places where you can use `user@host` and those where you can't and have to use `-l user` (and thus have to use `-e 'ssh -l user'` or equivalent) Usually I use per host `ssh_config(5)` (both for port and user) but some tools also don't make use of that!
