I need to obtain data from a server, using my WSL (Ubuntu 20.04) and to do so I run the command
rsync -av -e "ssh -vvv -oPort=5822" 'address'where 'address' is of course replaced with the actual address. Doing so results in the following error
OpenSSH_8.2p1 Ubuntu-4, OpenSSL 1.1.1f 31 Mar 2020

rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(235) [Receiver=3.1.3]Searching for solutions online originally had me believe that firewall settings caused the issue. However, despite turning off my firewall on windows, and disabling UFW on my WSL, the issue remains.
Is there anything else I should try?
Let me know if you need more information on my setup

double check that your addresses are set up correctly from your domain registrar to your box...i had this exact same error and kept overlooking that my addressing (at registrar level) was inconsistent.
If despite turning off your firewall on Windows, and disabling UFW on your WSL, the issue remained, I suggest you install and set up a VPN.
Like, @ParsaMousavi mentioned in the comments above, you can first ping the address from your system, just to be sure you still aren't reaching the server before doing the above.
Hope this looks like an actual answer to your problem!
