You can also use rsync with a module, which means that the other computer will
run rsync in daemon mode, waiting for you to call, or will run it from inetd.
This does not need ssh; the password (which is set on the module, and is not
necessarily your login password) is authenticated cryptographically, but the
data are transmitted in the clear.
