Yout got it backwards.  That should have been


scp ~/.ssh/identity.pub user@remote:~/.ssh/keyfile
ssh remote
cd .ssh
cat keyfile >> authorized_keys


Note that you need to log in to the remote server and manually add the
public key to authorized_keys, otherwise you'll be replacing any
authorized keys you might have set up.
