Understanding ssh URLs like ssh://host:port/...

[hadmut]

Hi,

It would be very nice and convenient, if rsync could understand not just the [USER@]HOST:SRC notation for using ssh, but the generalized URL form like

ssh://user@host:port/path or even ssh://user:password@host:port/path

syntax to comply with the general URL syntax as used by many other programs like git, like it does with rsync://...

It would be much easier for scripts etc. to use a unified location.

best regards
