Yes, rsync is the right tool for this IMO. It's extremely efficient when run in native daemon mode (not over SSH). It can do full sync including the deletion of orphan files. Its weak authentication can be worked around by using appropriate filtering (iptables). It's still better than running it over SSH (again IMHO) because the latter requires some kind of root->root trust relationship to work, something I consider as an absolute no-no. I can share sample configuration files and a generic, configurable directory sync shell script that I run from crontab if you're interested. Greets, _Alain_
