It's realy easy. Just generate keys on the end you will run the cron
script with ssh-keygen. You will then have your key in the identity.pub
file in your .ssh dir. Then copy that key to the remote machine and put it
in the authorized_keys2 file (2 if you are, and you should be, using ssh2).
From then you will not need to type in the password ever, no matter what
are you doing (scp, ssh...).
You can allways do
$ man scp
and
$ man ssh
for more info...
Regards,
Nikola
