rsync - Oct 2002 - upload to rsync server syntax problems

What I'm trying to do: upload files from my local machine to an rsync server
running on a remote host.

What I don't know: syntax on how to do this.

I initially set the conf file so that I could download from the remote
machine to my local machine, the syntax:

    rsync -azv --delete rsync://user@remote.machine.com:12923:blah destdir

This worked fine. So then, I wanted to go the other way around. On the
remote machine, I add "read only = no" to the module in the conf file
and
restarted the server.

I thought think that the syntax for uploading to the remote machine would
simply be:

    rsync -azv --delete srcdir rsync://user@remote.machine.com:12923:blah


But according to the man page, that is apparently illegal. I've also tried
the following

    rsync -azv --delete srcdir user@remote.machine.com:12923:blah
    rsync -azv --delete srcdir user@remote.machine.com:12923::blah

Both of these query me for my system password, but doesn't seem to do
anything, and more importantly, is not using the server that is running on
that machine.

Any info on how to do this would be appreciated.

After much digging with certain keywords, I found the correct syntax:

    rsync -azv --delete orig --port 12923 user@remote.machine.com::blah
