Hi Ruben,
Thank you for the PR! 😉
Now sshpass
is available for those who needs it.
However, public key authentication should be preferred whenever possible, as recommended in the manual of sshpass
:
First and foremost, users of sshpass should realize that ssh's insistance on only getting the password interactively is not without reason. It is close to impossible to securely store the password, and users of ssh- pass should consider whether ssh's public key authentication provides the same end-user experience, while involving less hassle and being more secure.
Cheers, Simon
(sorry for the delay)

I infinitely share this point!
Thanks @rbndelrio for the contribution anyway <3
sshpass
doesn't come with Ubuntu 14.04 (here's the manifest), so rsync was failing for me.
