I'd use ssh keys, check the man page on how to specify keys for use with
rsync/ssh.

Careful with wildcards, they may be interpreted different than you expect.
I made this script, the script assumes that paths are the same on source
and destination:
#!/bin/sh
# RSYNC_USER is set as an environment variable or defaults to $USER
RSYNC_USER=${RSYNC_USER:-$USER}
# Exit if RSYNC_HOST not defined, there is no good default value.
if [ -z $RSYNC_HOST ]; then
echo "RSYNC_HOST undefined, no host to syncronize with.";
exit;
fi
# RSYNC_PATH sets the path to be syncronized, defaults to $HOME
# would be neat to check if path is absolute or else assume relative
# to $HOME or set RSYNC_PATH as environment/command line variable
if [ -z $1 ]; then
RSYNC_PATH=$HOME;
else
RSYNC_PATH=$HOME/$1
fi
# Syncronize folders
echo "Syncing $RSYNC_PATH..."
# Exclude patterns may be stored in .rsync in the home directory or
# the sub directory being syncronized
if [ -f $RSYNC_PATH/.rsync ]; then
rsync -Cptuvaz --rsh="ssh" --exclude-from=$RSYNC_PATH/.rsync \
$RSYNC_PATH/ $RSYNC_USER\@$RSYNC_HOST:$RSYNC_PATH;
else
rsync -Cptuvaz --rsh="ssh" \
$RSYNC_PATH/ $RSYNC_USER\@$RSYNC_HOST:$RSYNC_PATH;
fi
exit;
You put your exclude list in a file, .rsync (see the man-page), what to
exclude may depend on the directory you're rsyncing. If you're
automating this as a cron-job, then you may not have the environment
variables set.
I think that rsync defaults to ssh so the --rsh is really obsolete, but
I like to make it explicit.
Cheers, Erik
