           Summary: Add the ability to specify a password on the command
                    line
           Product: rsync
           Version: 2.6.8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org

It would be very nice if there was an option to specify a password via the
command line when connecting to an rsync repository, which would make
integrating rsync into scripts much easier. Currently you need to specify a
password file that holds the passwords or set the RSYNC_PASSWORD variable. It
would be easier if one could just use options like:
  --password=somepassword --user=someuser
or being able to say:
  rsync://user:password@server:port/src/ destination
