Some paths on the remote server may require authentication. If so then
you will receive a password prompt when you connect. You can avoid the
password prompt by setting the environment variable RSYNC_PASSWORD to
the password you want to use. This may be useful when scripting rsync.

manpagesection(AUTHENTICATION STRENGTH)
The authentication protocol used in rsync is a 128 bit MD4 based
challenge response system. Although I believe that no one has ever
demonstrated a brute-force break of this sort of system you should
realise that this is not a "military strength" authentication system.
It should be good enough for most purposes but if you want really top
quality security then I recommend that you run rsync over ssh.
Also note that the rsync server protocol does not currently provide any
encryption of the data that is transferred over the link. Only
authentication is provided. Use ssh as the transport if you want
encryption.
Future versions of rsync may support SSL for better authentication and
encryption, but that is still being investigated.
