Thanks to all who replied with the SSH keys solution - I'll investigate this over the weekend - but I'd like to see what can be done with Rsync on it's own before adding ssh trickery into the mix !!! Hope you understand :-)

Hi,
I'm trying to learn rsync and to aid this I'm trying some 'simple' syncronising over the net using SSH. What I can't find clearly explained in the docs is where to put the remote user password in the command line argument.
For example I want to sync the two 'documents' directories - one on my local Linux box and another on a server in my office. The command I'm planning to use is:
rsync -avz -e ssh /home/huw/documents [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/huw/documents/
What I can't find is where to put the password for the remote user ?
TIA
Huw
