My first thought is, why aren't you doing it with just one rsync call like:
rsync -avHp --progress subdir1 subdir2 subdir3 webh...@box000.bluehost.com:www/
If it's because your example doesn't directly reflect your situation, as in your are needing to copy into several different destination directories, you will just need to setup a shared key for ssh and copy the public key over to the destinations authorized_keys file. Once you have done that, you can copy over to the destination without any passwords at all if you want.

How can one do two or more rsyncs with entering the password just once? I've set up a script that I named copy2blue to copy three specified subdirectories to my web hosted space, and it works fine, except it asks me to enter the password for each 'rsync' command. How can I modify this so it will only ask for the password once? cd /dir/subdir1 rsync -avHp --progress subdir1 webh...@box000.bluehost.com:www/subdir1/ cd /dir/subdir2 rsync -avHp --progress subdir2 webh...@box000.bluehost.com:www/subdir2/ cd /dir/subdir3 rsync -avHp --progress subdir3 webh...@box000.bluehost.com:www/subdir3/
