Interesting, so unlike rsync there is no need to set up a service on the destination Linux machine. That always annoyed me a bit about rsync.

The most common use for rsync is to run it over ssh where it starts the receiving side automatically. cdc is doing the exact same thing.

You were misinformed if you thought using rsync required setting up an rsync service.
