According to man rsync: "There are two different ways for rsync to contact a remote system: using a remote-shell program as the transport (such as ssh or rsh) or contacting an rsync daemon directly via TCP." I'm using remote-shell and I'm wondering what benefit the daemon has. I probably wouldn't have to enter the username/password? - Grant
