Incremental file updates over a network, NFS?

[Mac User FR]

You gave you the answer.
I'm not a security specialist, but by my modest knowledge, rsync  
protocol isn't secure at all as all information can be sniffed by  
somebody on the network. So the "classic" solution for those who need  
encryption is to use ssh wrapper.

On the links of this page: http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html you  
have an option for stunnel instead of ssh ( http://www.netbits.us/ 
docs/stunnel_rsync.html ). As I neither use one or other, I can't  
give you more info. Try googling around or wait for a more "pro" answer.
