Can I push files from a source to a destination using Unison with Unison installed on the source machine but not on the destination machine?

Yes you can do it. But no, you won't get the speed benefits that Unison provides when it's running on both ends.

I do this regularly from Mac. I mount a SMB share locally and then set up a .prf file like this:

# Roots of the synchronization
root = /Volumes/SecondDrive/user/Pix/
root = /Volumes/REMOTE/user/Pix

auto=true
batch=true
times=true
fastcheck=true

in the above situation the first root is on my local drive and the second is a mounted SMB share that lives on a networked windows server.
