You didn't have a peek at the rsync man page did you?

ADVANCED USAGE
The syntax for requesting multiple files from a remote host
involves using
quoted spaces in the SRC. Some examples:
rsync host::'modname/dir1/file1 modname/dir2/file2' /dest
This would copy file1 and file2 into /dest from an rsync daemon.
Each addiâ
tional arg must include the same "modname/" prefix as the first one, and
must be
preceded by a single space. All other spaces are assumed to be a part
of the
filenames.
rsync -av host:'dir1/file1 dir2/file2' /dest
</snippet>
While it mentions files, it works just as well with directories if you
pass the -a or -r option:

Not sure. However, if you're willing, you can set up ssh so you can use
passwordless logins[0] and then you won't need to keep entering it.
[0] ssh-keygen and, when asked, don't enter a password.
