ssh-copy-id different port

Question

i am trying execute ssh-copy-id in one port different than 22 (default). I researched and found the command below

$ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub "[email protected] -p 22001"

but, when execute the command, i got this error:

/usr/bin/ssh-copy-id: ERROR: ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.1 -p 22001 port 22: Connection refuse

It seems that command dont understand the port.

Solution

$ ssh-copy-id
Usage: /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id [-h|-?|-n] [-i [identity_file]] [-p port] [[-o <ssh -o options>] ...] [user@]hostname

So in your case simply use:

$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub -p 22001 [email protected]

Because of your usage of quotes, the -p 22001 part became part of the hostname which explains the error you got.

quote (") are not needed. what you write is : I need to copy key to a host name "[email protected] p 22001" with same user ans standard port.
