[Gllug] Does one need Rsync server to use Rsync?

[Hong Chyr]

Hi guys

Something I can't get my head around. I've been using rsync to sync 
files locally, and over SSH (using the "rsync -e 'ssh -l username -i 
id_rsa' <source> <dest>").

Now, having read the rsync document over and over again, I can't seem to 
figure out, why do the need for an Rsync (or rsync daemon)  server to do 
rsync? Is it really necessary? What's the advantage over just using 
Rsync as a commandline program?

Thanks for your insights.

Hong
