ssh - how to send password ?

[huwybach]

Sorry to 'bump' this one back to the list but I'm not clear - is there a 
way of appending a password to an Rsync command argument or is this just 
not possible/practical ?

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 :-)
