How can I use two (or more) 'rsync' commands in a single script without
having to enter the password separately for each one?

Below is a shortened example of a shell script that I use to update files
from my local computer to my web host. It works fine, except I have to
enter the password separately for each of the 'rsync' commands.

How can I modify this so I only have to enter the password once (or
perhaps embed the password for each one within the script)?

# update.blue

rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/upquick/
vsiq at box5.bluehost.com:www/upquick/

rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/zip/ vsiq at box5.bluehost.com:www/zip/

rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/av7/ vsiq at box5.bluehost.com:www/av7/
