Its a normal scenario, when u access machine B from machine A, any utility you are using like ssh, rsync, or what machine B is acting as server for u.... so on client side simple rsync is installed, on server side u have to use some rsync-server package is required.

No - you only need a "normal" rsync installed on each side. rsync uses a ssh/rsh connection to copy the data, so you don't need a special server. rsync starts itself on the remote server over the ssh connection. If you run a high-volume site, an rsync server is available (though this has had quite a few security issues in the past).
