I am not Charlie, but the concept is simple. Yes, you run rsync, and run it as a dameon (--daemon). You put the files in a directory structure that is not in the ftp (or http) file structure. You create a share in /etc/rsyncd.conf with a name (say, smedev) pointing to the structure you want to share. People could reach it via rsync://server.example.com/smedev/ man rsync gives a little info, but the concept is very well described in man rsyncd.conf. See the first example rsyncd.conf in that man page and it will be clear as a bell to you. This is exactly the same as a regular rsync server, but they often just point to the ftp file structure (or some branch of it). Rsync is quite independent of ftp, unless you force it to overlap.
