Typically you would copy local:~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub (or non dsa equivalent) into remote:~/.ssh/authorized_keys - since that's only user level, no need for root access. Its changing the configuration of the user on the remote machine, but since that user is you, its usually ok. You then use -i with scp.
