I need to transfer three files everynight (in response to a previous
email question).  How can I get this to work?  I have tried and can not
seem to get it to work.  This is what I have done:

1) From the computer which I intend on connecting FROM I ran:
# ssh-keygen -t rsa

 and hit enter for the passphrase.

2) I then copied this from the SOURCE directory to the DESTINATION
machines /home/bdina/.ssh.  I repeated this for root as well using root
to generate the key and then /root/.ssh as I did not know if that would
be needed to get cron working.

3) I made a connection and it still asked for a password.

I believe that DSA is the better encryption (I could be wrong though).

All you need to copy is the id_rsa.pub file to the destination machine,
and copy it to authorized_keys:

cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys

Check /var/log/messages on both machines and use ssh -v remote_machine
to get a better look at the errors that you are having.
