[plug] copying file from one server to another

[Quintin Lette]

If you put the public key file in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 (assuming keys made 
with "ssh-keygen -t dsa") you wont need passwords.

Just the command will do.

I haven't personally used the -B switch but I haven't seen a need either, but 
I frequently copy files around my network using scp without entering (or 
storing) passwords
