Another way to solve the problem is to mount the remote server using sshfs and then access it as a directory on your local computer. This will require using the password once when you mount the server, but you can just leave it mounted until you shut down your computer. E.g.,
You have an empty directory called remoteserver. sshfs myloginn...@remoteserver.com: remoteserver To unmount, say fusermount -u remoteserver but shutting down the computer will also do this.
