Passwordless logins by ssh-keys
Rsync Buddy utilizes user set ssh keypath and identityfile. Default values for ssh are ~/.ssh/id_rsa and portnumber 22.

The ssh parameter within the rsync command is, if set by the user: -e “ssh -i ~/.ssh_keypath/identityfile -p NN” where -i ~/.ssh_keypath/identityfile is the ssh keypath and identityfile and -p NN is the port number ssh communicates through, default port 22
