[Pc_Support] Cigwin rsync and passwords

I'm using Cigwin and rsync to backup certain directories from a WinXP 
machine to a Linux server. The method I use incorporates ssh. From a 
command line everything works fine except that ssh always requests a 
password. Could anyone familiar with this tool tell me how I could 
pass ssh the password on the command line so I could run rsync from a 
batch file and the scheduler?

Thanks,

Tim
