This is quite simple. Just run ssh-keygen and an empty passphrase.
By default the key generated will be put in .ssh/identify.pub copy the
line into the .ssh/authorized_keys into the home folder of target machine,
and you should be able to ssh and scp into the target machine without password.
man ssh-keygen and man ssh should give further help if needed.
