How to pass password automatically for rsync SSH command?

Question

I need to do rsync by ssh and want to do it automatically without the need of passing password for ssh manually.

Answer 1

The following works for me:

SSHPASS='myPassword'
/usr/bin/rsync -a -r -p -o -g --progress --modify-window=1 --exclude /folderOne -s -u --rsh="/usr/bin/sshpass -p $SSHPASS ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l root"  source-path  myDomain:dest-path  >&2

I had to install sshpass
