[ale] best way to copy 3Tb of data

[Scott Plante]

No, what happens with ssh is that the local rsync launches a remote rsync command and the two rysnc commands talk via the rsync protocol. If fact, there's an option on rsync "--rsync-path" where you can give the remote location of rsync. We sometimes specify a script in place of the rsync executable so we can call nice and ionice on the remote side ahead of the executable.

I know you don't need to have an rsync server to copy files via rsync 
but from what I've read, rsync protocol is way fater than ssh. And you 
have to have an rsync server to use the rsync protocol, right?
