title: Rsync Encryption
body: <p>I know that rsync can enable / disable the ssh encryption protocol during the file transfer. So, if the ssh encryption protocol has been disabled, does it mean that rsync does not do any encryption at all?</p>
  
  <p>Also, the reason why I asked the above question is we use the rsync module as part of our file transfer and there is nothing in the module that specifies that ssh encryption will be used.</p>
  
  <p>If rsync does not use any encryption, then I can theoretically open a port on both source and destination machines and push the file from source to destination.</p>
