``rsync -e ssh ...'' uses secure shell for the transport. We often use rsync in server mode which has its own server for things like updating djbdns data files on backup DNS servers where each domain master has its own entry in the rsyncd.conf file restricting access to one directory, and to the IP address (or CIDR block) of the updating server.
