how to use rsync without encryption?

Post by rs232 »

I have two nas4free located at different sites and I'm doing a 24/7 replication over the VPN.
The VPN is encrypted so I don't see the point in using ssh to copy files between NASes as double encryption is useless and consume precious percentage of data throughput.
Is there any way I can tell rsync not to use encryption (ssh) but without using modules? The three methods I know are:

local:
rsync /tmp/mydir /tmp/myotherdir

remote ssh (encrypted):
rsync /tmp/mydir 192.168.10.10:/tmp/myremotedir

remote rsync (unencrypted)
rsync /tmp/mydir 192.168.10.10::mydirmod

The second method would do to me but unfortunately all my rsync back ups (back and forth) are longish bash scripts that I call via cron, and I'd like to keep them this way.

Thanks
