I am writing up a shell script that is to be executed via cron.

Part of the script involves using scp, and I want it to copy a file to a
remote server.


Currently I use syntax scp localfile
user@remote:/location-to-save-to/remotefile

The problem is I want to have it authenticate by itself without needing my
input.

Any ideas how, and the syntax I would use. (the man page is rather
ambigious)
