question about rsync

Hi,

I have several folders I want to synchronize with rsync. If I run the
commands one by one, I need to enter the password for each one.
Is there a way I can use a single rsync for all folders, so that I
only need to enter the password once?

Thanks!

I'm assuming you're referring back to your original post, where you gave
this example:

rsync -var -e ssh ~/code myname@xxx.xxx :~/code

You could try something like this (untested):

rsync -var -e ssh -R ~/./first ~/./second ~/./third myname@target:

You might want to use the --dry-run option first.
