I would like to make scp transfers as smooth as possible, using batch mode
if I can.  At the least, I don't want to have to enter my password with
every transfer.

How do I create the identity file that goes with the -i option so that I do
not have to enter my password each time?

NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed.  Thanks.
