SCP is part of the SSH distribution - right? (just checking)

This has little to do with FreeBSD - it's more a SSH question... You need to
make sure that the SCP sources host/username's 'indentity.pub' is present in
the SCP's destination host/username's '.ssh/authorized_keys' file.

This involves running 'ssh-keygen', and copying files around... If your still
stuck email me - I'll see what I can dig out (we do this here with no problems
:-)
