rsync a list of files

Asked by jlewi in rSync Backup Utility, SSH / Telnet Software

I'd like to use rsync to sync a bunch of files located in different directories between a client and a server. Right now I do this by calling rsync once for each file. This is slow because I'm running rsync over ssh so I have to establish a new ssh connection for each file. So I'm wondering if there's a way I can provide rsync with a file listing the source and destination for each file so that I can just call rsync once.
