Port problem

I get "Error code 821 at xsibackup.c at line 821. Error description: Port 7722 is closed at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
when i use the command:
./xsibackup --backup "VMs(TST)" root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxg:7722:/vmfs/volumes/BUPNAS/XSIDC --compression --subfolder=TST --rotate=2 --remote-path="/vmfs/volumes/SYSTEM/xsi-dc-dir/xsibackup"

however the command:
./xsibackup --add-key root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:7722

works perfectly.

I have the external port 7722 forwarded to the internal port 22 at my ESXi server IP.
If I forward the external port 22 to to the internal port 22 at my ESXi server IP and replace 7722 by 22 in the coomand it works. But I need to use diferent port that the 22 for secyrity reasons.

Re: Port problem

This is a bug in a routine that scans the port previous to initiating the transfer, it will be solved in v. 0.9.5.2
