I do that in one direction on one of my servers; I left the extra fluff 
in case you nee to exclude files or limit the bandwidth:
rsync -avz --delete --rsh=ssh --stats --progress 
--password-file=/root/.rsyncpw
--bwlimit=500 --exclude='*Norton\ Ghost\ Backup*' 
root@192.168.0.103:/newdrive/*
 /newdrive
