rsync server with ssh

Thank you for visiting this page, this page has been update in another link Rsync server with ssh
In the article rsync server setup on rhel, I've described how to setup rsync server, now here is a bit more instructions for who wants to use rsync with ssh.
Basically, it's the same way you setup ssh key authentication, so good part is that your rsync process will be performed via secured connection, but bad part is that there is potential security danger. Anyway, in most cases, rsync and ssh key setup are mostly setup internal network, so best leave it to you to judge.

On, client
# ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -q -P ""
# cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEArmk2v6GnCp50uTjnV36hrs4bapBeoonubD8eU4WmPSoxiZWZrF12/xhBLSltw52znCbpnFmHhgxXyun3Lc0SxPY4b2Riw/eU9duYkQ+vK4QeGLrnDVx1ReNNwpVwB6KmVZtljVB7FN3UgMaT9Yb32kQ2UG4dYLQiUJZjzqamTvh6mSp48onNJ8yhOgcRUQYDAcOqaokgIr6ltuHO0nb1i5KFhbekkCLgaatLl/wcp3aGLQy4ojCcCLRvOaklwUvwFIvF9kLIt9S/+kPa7KmBrRXEKqHTRcOpW3MnFBgLdbt0QfAyW6+m9RyGJXOyDwHWbK5nI6Wql+ERBiWImLrJFQ== root@aaa.com

copy it to a file or clipeboard, then on server
add it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
cat id_rsa.pub >>~/.ssh/authorized_keys
then run 
# rsync -auvx -e 'ssh' testrsyncserver::backups/ .
receiving incremental file list
./
...
