If u get connection refused, then rsyncd is not starting, perhaps in
/etc/xinetd.d/rsync file u need to edit enable it by saying disable as no
U can use the rsync daemon to do the transfer. U will require to create
/etc/rsyncd.conf on the remote machine.
################### start of /etc/rsyncd.conf #############
Example of /etc/rsyncd.conf is
[test1]
path = /tmp/backup
read only = FALSE
############ end of /etc/rsyncd.conf ######################
After doing that create restart xinetd by
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
Following example will sync /home/foo on local machine to /tmp/backup on
remote machine.
rsync -avz /home/foo/ linux107::test1/backup
NOTE: test1 is not a directory in the server, also note use of "::" in the
destination path.
for more info RTFM.

You need to have rsync on both the local and remote systems. Plus you
need either rsh or preferably ssh on both machines installed and
working properly.
