Re: scp
The best option is to use RSA authentication instead of password. Use
ssh-keygen to generate a public/private keyset, then copy the public key
into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote host. Then it will
authenticate without asking for a password. You must use a blank
passphrase for this to work.
