I want to rsync between two computers on my LAN with IP-adresses 192.168.20.9 and 192.168.20.10 both running Ubuntu 10.10.
I want to try rsync and ssh service between the two computers.

I am assuming you want to be able to do this both ways, that your username of the logged in user is the same on both machines, that you are happy to get it working as quickly and as simply as possible and that you don't require to use keys to do this.
The steps are:
Set up ssh
You need to install the packages openssh-client and openssh-server
Then from 192.168.20.9, check you can connect to 192.168.20.10
ssh 192.168.20.10
You will be prompted for the password of your use on 192.168.20.10. Enter that to continue. When asked if it is okay to connect, say yes.
Repeat the process the other way.
