I think as long as you have the proper access and configured properly it can be automated.

Just open the ports of course that are needed for this setup.

I'd also recommend rsync for the transfers. Since it runs over SSH it can be set to use keys for authentication. That also allows the exact rsync parameters to be locked down as part of the key itself.

Steps:

test manual rsync transfer
test manual SSH connection with keys
test manual rsync transfer with keys
lock down public key with command="..."
add to cron job or incron job
