Using tlmgr and a repo from a local machine

I used this command

tlmgr --repository utente at macchina:/myApps/tlrepo/tlnet update --all

in which "macchina" is a MBP in the LAN and "/myApps/tlrepo/tlnet" a mirror of a CTAN tlnet.

The issue is that it asks the password two or three times **for each package** and if the packages are more than 20, this results in a very inefficient way to update.

I wonder if someone know a trick to avoid all this...

TIA,
  Angelo.
