One is the rsyncd daemon. To rsync to an rsyncd daemon, you use two colons after the hostname, like this
rsync localfile tnet-web::threshNet-Public This tranfers everything in the clear. Last I checked, there was no built-in method to transfer over ssh using the daemon. You could set up an SSL or SSH tunnel to do that. The other method of using rsync is with a single colon, like this rsync localfile tnet-web:threshNet-Public This automatically uses ssh for transfer, but it requires a few things. 1) your user must have an account on tnet-web 2) threshNet-Public is a folder inside your user's home directory on tnet-web 3) it does not require an rsyncd.conf file, and doesn't look at it even if you have one.
