[sFTP] automatic authentication

Hi!

Is there a way to automate the login process when working with sftp?

In the sense, that username and password don't need to be entered.

The username can be entered as part of the adress-toke (user@machine), but how to bypass the prompt for password, other than having my public key uploaded on the targeted machine?

thanks in advance
