服务器上的Rsync远程文件夹，密码为本地文件夹

Question

I am trying to rsync folders in a remote directory on a server with password to a local directory. SCP works but I am not able to get the right rsync command working. I get directory not found or "not a directory" error.

I am trying:

rsync -ratlz --rsh="/usr/bin/sshpass -p $RSYNC_PASSWORD ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l adminuser@xxx.xx.xxx.xxx" $serverpath/* $localpath/

$serverpath has many directories with files inside of them.

The scp that works for me is :

for latestfile in `sshpass -p $RSYNC_PASSWORD ssh adminuser@xxx.xx.xxx.xxx ls -ltr -d ${serverpath}/*`
do

sshpass -p "$RSYNC_PASSWORD" scp -r adminuser@xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:$serverpath/$latestfile $localpath/

done

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I managed to get it working. It is necessary to include hostname with server path separately. sshpass requires user login credentials and IP of remote server as a part of the ssh command and shoudl be included it in the rsync command.

rsync -avzr -e "sshpass -p $RSYNC_PASSWORD ssh -l adminuser@xxx.xx.xxx.xxx"  adminuser@xxx.xx.xxx.xxx:$serverpath/*  $localpath/
