No, I do not have control over the clients. 
Jefferson's suggestion of using tunneled rsnc is therefore also not possible. Implementing this is much more work as using standard sftp-commands in a script.

inotify may help but I'm using Solaris not Linux - although not knowing but inotify may not have been ported to Solaris.

Any other suggestions?
