Yeah, basically you need to rename that identity.pub file to
authorized_keys on their other end as far as I remember. By the way, I
don't really know what you're trying to do but if you did enter a
passphrase you will not then be able to ssh or scp to that host without
entering a password. I was just thinking that perhaps you're trying to
set up the whole thing so that you are not prompted for a password at all,
so you can run scripts remotely. So, if that is the case keep in mind
that you do NOT need a passphrase.
