Not necessarily.
You can configure rsync quite securely (lookup rsync as a daemon) and
set things up so that when you edit a config file, it can then be
copied over automatically. A script on the other host can notice an
updated file and test/install it.
You can apply the same process locally as well if you want to avoid
giving the admin guys root access.
