That may be good advice on Windows, where installing ssh and setting up
an ssh server can involve several extra steps.  On Linux, I beg to
differ.  Most Linux machines already have ssh set up, so rsync over ssh
is simpler and easier than setting up a daemon (but not necessarily
better depending on server security requirements).
