I want to rsync to a remote host to a given directory.

local-host:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

keyfilename: ~/.ssh/rsync
ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/rsync rsyncuser@remote-host

rsync files with ssh:

rsync -vaHxr --delete \
      -e "ssh -i ~/.ssh/rsync -c arcfour -o Compression=no -x" \
      LOCALDIR rsyncuser@remote-host:

remote-host

/home/rsyncuser/.ssh/authorized_keys:

from="192.168.0.2,",command="/home/rsyncuser/validate-rsync.sh",
 no-pty,no-agent-forwarding,no-port-forwarding
 ssh-dss 012345678...

limit access with from (optional).
On sucessfully ssh login command is executed.
