If security is what you're after, use rsync over ssh and only
have ssh INTO the staging server from the live server.

If you don't want ssh, really restrict the connectivity of the
rsyncd on the staging server and use compression and crypto 
link over that.

Otherwise, just use rsync over rsh, duh, though I wouldn't.
