Hi!
I know, " rsync daemon" is a common name in hosting, but I haven't ideas about it.
Can anybody assist me with it?

In order to automate rsync without any password, you need to set up the rsync daemon on one of the sever. In addition, it offers a large number of features. You can run rsync daemon through inetd or as a stand alone daemon. Once the installation complete, you can use rsync to any system that you can access either through inetd or stand alone daemon.

Hi!
Is there any advantage in utilizing rsyncd compared to rsync over ssh? Is it correct- rsyncd improve speed, stability etc.?
