Configure rsync as a daemon

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

The rsync utility normally runs over ssh when syncing files between a local client and remote host. However it does have an option to run as a daemon if you don't want to run it using the ssh protocol. Because the data is not encrypted, it's important to make sure this is only done with trusted networks or consider encrypting the transfer through something like an stunnel.
