    A SSH-client uses a public/private key-pair to authenticate with
    a SSH-server. By using a passwordless key-pair, or by using an
    SSH-agent, you can authenticate without giving a password.

    There are numerous resources on the web about SSH,
    and there are also books ("SSH, The Secure Shell",
    http://safari.oreilly.com/?XmlId=0-596-00011-1, is one).

    An on-line tutorial may be found here:
        http://www.cs.wisc.edu/csl/doc/howto/ssh/

    There's a FAQ here:
        http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~ig25/ssh-faq/

    (I haven't read the contents of the pages above very carefully,
    but you should be able to find other sources of information if
    they turns out to be crap)
