rsync - Jan 2004 - How to mask @ symbol in username?

Hi,

I am trying to access an account with rsync that has a username like
this: 

"usernam@server.com" 

Please note: this IS ONLY the username, so to login vie ssh I have to
type usernam@server.com. I think it?s Ensim Webppliance, that handles
virtual accounts that way.

So now, if I waqnt to access this account with rsync, I must type
something like:

rsync -e ssh username@server.com@server.com:/home /backbup

that leads to an error, because obviously the second @ in the
username/server combo is not understood by rsync.

What can i do now? How can i mask the first @ ???


Thank you very much for your attention!

I think your only option at the moment is to tell the name to ssh
directly, like this:

rsync -e 'ssh -l username@server.com' server.com:/home /backup
