rsync feature using scp

Hi guys,

Could you please tell me if net/rsync is still considered as "insecure".
If it is still insecure, How can I use scp to copy a directory from one server to another and keeping the permission and users?
scp -p doesn't keep the ownership even if copied with -p option
 
Insecure it what sense? If you use SSH for transport as in rsync -avz /localdirectory/ user@host:/remotedirectory it is as secure as the SSH connection that carries the data. The rsync:// protocol is probably very insecure and shouldn't be used if confidentiality is an issue.
