That is definitely possible - http://sync2nas.sourceforge.net. In fact
if you are looking for source it is here
http://www.submedia.net/~nic/Sync2nas.pl. This has BSD license. I
don't have too many clients to worry about, thus I probably can
schedule them accordingly. So if I understand you correctly, I don't
have to do anything on the server side to "listen" for a connection?
Can I just use rsync over ssh to directly send data to the appropriate
directory and the server is gonna "know"?
