rsync already doesn't need rsh or ssh.
* On host A (server, with room to accept big uploads):
Edit /etc/rsyncd.conf, add this to the end:
[hostb]
path = /srv/rsync/hostb
auth users = hostb
Edit /etc/rsyncd.secrets, add this line:
hostb:hostbpass
mkdir -p /srv/rsync/hostb
sudo rsync --daemon
* On host B (client, uploading to server):
RSYNC_PASSWORD=hostbpass rsync -avz /path/to/dir hostb at hosta::hostb
Replace "hosta" with whatever hostname or ip address for "Host A".
On hosta, the rsync --daemon wil listen on port 873 and the traffic will
go direct from rsync on hostb to rsync on hosta, no rsh or ssh.
For single huge files like dd images though, dd|netcat is a lot faster.
