Can you use rsync over ssh?

rsync -e 'ssh -l user at domain.org' -vr domain.org:/path/to/remote
/path/to/local

I haven't tested that, but try it 
and see if it works for you.

or is rsync the problem?

I've got an account on a RH box running Ensim WEBppliance for linux. I am
trying to use rsync to connect to the box and backup a directory to my
local machine. The problem is that the Ensim software uses virtual
servers
and instead of a plain old username, you've got to login with
'username at domain.org' 

So, likesay, an ssh connection must by executed like this:

'ssh -l username at domain.org domain.org'

To be successful. The issue seems to be that rsync has no --user flag in
it.

I have tried a few variations of the command -and read the documentation
over and over- and connecting like this:

'rsync -vr user at domain.org@domain.org:/path/to/remote /path/to/local'

Always yields something like:

"domain.org at domain.org's password: "

Anyone have any ideas? I am thinking that I need to push from the server
rather than pull from my workstation but then I would need access to the
rsync executable on the server, which I don't have...

Any suggestions would be much appretiated. thanks!
