Default Syncing fileservers

What is the best option to sync data on two linux fileservers. We need to sync everything from etc config files to user files. Scp is not sufficient since we have restricted root's scp/ssh capabilities. Any suggestions are welcome.

Use rsync command.

It is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does, but has many more options and uses the rsync remote-update protocol to greatly speed up file transfers when the destination file is being updated. The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the differences between two sets of files across the network connection, using an efficient checksum
search algorithm described in the technical report that accompanies this package.
