dear all,

 I am considering to use a synchronization tool to synchronize the
contents of some directories and mirror some directories from one server
to another intranet server behind a dial-up connection.

 As you guys can imagine the speed of the connection is an issue and I
am thinking of a system to send securely the data using some
compression.

 the customer suggested rsync, I have looked through a little bit around
the rsync website and see that there is ssh support for that tool. Which
it would be setup for such system? Should i store the password of the
user used for sshing the server in plain text in a file?

 Many thanks in advance

 Miguel
