Yes, there is a way...
Suppose you want to cp some files from machine B to A using SCP. Follow
the steps:
1. User X generates private/public key using ssh-keygen on Machine A.
"Don't enter password during key generation"
2. Now ~X/.ssh/identity will have user's private key on machine A.
3. Append ~X/.ssh/identity.pub to ~/.ssh/authorizedkeys on Machine
B.
This is user's public key on remote machine B.
4. Enable RSA authentication (per user based) on machine B in the
config file sshd_config.
Make "permitemptypasswords yes". Restart SSH Daemon on machine B.
5. Now try SCP from machine A using command
scp user@MachineB:/Full/Path/To/File MachineADirPath
This procedure worked in our environment. This is quite useful if you
want to copy a list of
known files using SCP without giving password.
