Look at the "sshfs" command as you would at the "mount" command:
mount /some/device /some/path sshfs doesn't "mount" devices, it "mount(s)" remote directories:
So:
rsync -avHp /home/joe/mydata/upquick/ v...@box5.bluehost.com:www/upquick/
Could translate to:
mkdir -p /remote/www/upquick
sshfs v...@box5.bluehost.com:www/upquick /remote/www/upquick
rsync -avHp /home/joe/mydata/upquick/ /remote/www/upquick
Clear as mud?   :)

One way to "provide the password once per connection" is using sshfs: sshfs u...@remotehost:/path/I/care /where/I/want/it
Give your password and the mount will persist until either machine is
booted or the connection dies.
Now you can:
rsync -[all I want] /path/to/save/ /where/I/want/it

Thanks ET. While I plan to try to set up the key based authentication that
Bryan explained, this sshfs looks like a good alternative. However, I
don't quite understand the sshfs example, especially the "/path/I/care"
part and all the rest that should follow on the sshfs line. How would I do
that in the example that I originally provided? # update.blue sshfs (what goes here?):/(what goes here?)/ (what goes here?)
rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/upquick/
v...@box5.bluehost.com:www/upquick/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/zip/ v...@box5.bluehost.com:www/zip/ rsync -avHp --progress /home/joe/mydata/av7/ v...@box5.bluehost.com:www/av7/
