rsync - question

[Vladimir Kosovac]

If you use ssh instead, rsync will be tunelled through it, providing you use 
"-e ssh" option for rsync command, something like:

rsync -Pave ssh machine1:/home/user/<dirtosync> machine2:/home/whatever

This way you get the additional benefit of encrypted, rather than clear text 
data transfer.
