scp issues

[Kalin Mintchev <kalin el net>]

hi all,

i'm trying to do an automated process of scp between 2 linux machines.
i can't make it to work. here is what i've done so far:
used ssh-keygen to make a new key with -t rsa (or rsa1)...
when asked for passphrase - i leave it blank
after that i scp the identity.pub to the .ssh dir of the user on the
remote machine....

after that i try:
scp -i identity moo.txt myuser remote machine org:moo.txt

and i get promped for password....

i thought that the key is all one needs to automate the scp...
how else can i avoid the password prompt?

any idea will be appreciated.....

thanks...
