Hi,
scp uses ssh as its transport for copying files between different machines. You can set up RSA/DSA keys for passwordless login across hosts and then use scp without entering passwords, just like local cp. You can also make use of ssh-agent to achieve passwordless file copying.

For working password-less, I highly recommend /usr/ports/security/safesh. This helps you maintain different credentials for different hosts, which avoids identity theft by the machines you connect to.
It should also automates key generation etc.
Feedback about it the program is welcome.
Eivind.
