Did you get this figured out? Otherwise use ssh-keygen to make keys, put the public key on the server you are connecting to in the .ssh/authorized_keys2 of the remote users home dir, and then use a specific keyfile for the scp. I use it in several places, it is pretty handy. js - VB programmers ask why no one takes them seriously, it's somewhat akin to a McDonalds manager asking employees why they don't take their 'career' seriously.
