| You could use a password file instead (--password-file).

| I am not 100% sure if it will work:
1. Create a password file in /root/passwd.txt
2. Run below command:
rsync /directoty1 -ave 'ssh -p 1234' --password-file=/root/passwd.txt user@1.2.3.4:/directoty1

| It's very difficult to automate the use of plain-text passwords with ssh (by design - the developers wanted to discourage it). While it is technically possible, you'll find it much easier to just get the ssh keys working, and you'll be more secure too.

| this ^^
Every time I use rsync, I use key based authentication. It's easier to setup, and it just works
