It could also be an issue of an SSH id file.
I have a server I frequently upload data to, and I never ever need to login or provide any kind of password since its setup to use those keyfiles.
If you haven't already, create your personal (or any user using it) ssh keyfile, and upload the *.pub key to a specific directory which I don't know which it is.
And append the key to the list of 'authorized_keys' (which would be in the same dir as the pub key files of the users on the server.
Then 'one' can just execute rsync, and its checking the id file/key in the background allowing the user to transfer data or not.
Hope this helps
