use ssh keys rather than password authentication.... see: man ssh-keygen
hey thanks. Already using keys. It's sudo that's the blocker. Also I would use NOPASSWD on my sudo options, but there's some bureaucratic red-tape involved there. Can't really go about enabling that myself without ruffling some feathers. Otherwise thanks for the suggestions and keep 'em coming!

short version, on local system, run ssh-keygen to create a public and private key for the local account, and append the public key ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub on the local system to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file on the remote system. once you've done this, ssh/scp/sftp will connect without prompting for a password.
