It of course worked! Now I have another problem. I've set up public/private keys and since I need to set up an automated file transfer I didn't enter a passphrase. When it asked for passphrase while creating keys I pressed enter. Now, when I try to connect and specify the identity file it keeps asking me for a passphrase. What did I do wrong? I need to do away with all the prompts. Thanks for your advice.

See 'man mkpasswd' and 'man mkgroup' for information on how to setup up these files for domain users.
