You can setup rsync to use a ssh tunnel so it is both encrypted and
doesn't need a password.

- From a quick Google, the command structure is like this:
$ rsync -avz -e "ssh -i /home/thisuser/cron/thishost-rsync-key"
remoteuser at remotehost:/remote/dir /this/dir/

(I got this from "http://www.jdmz.net/ssh/")
