It seems that ssh and rsync are sufficient.

"rsync Tips & Tricks":
http://sial.org/howto/rsync/

"Using rsync over ssh":
http://www.oreilly.com/pub/h/38

rsync manual:
http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsync.html

Here's an excerpt from that manual:

"Once installed, you can use rsync to any machine that you can
access via a remote shell (as well as some that you can access
using the rsync daemon-mode protocol). For remote transfers, a
modern rsync uses ssh for its communications, but it may have
been configured to use a different remote shell by default,
such as rsh or remsh.

You can also specify any remote shell you like, either by
using the -e command line option, or by setting the RSYNC_RSH
environment variable.

Note that rsync must be installed on both the source and
destination machines."
