Question : Problem: Want to copy linux files using scp without entering password each time

Experts:

I am trying to copy files to a server out on the Internet without having to type in a password everytime.  I am going from a local linux (fedora 6) box to another linux box (Cent 4).  My command is:

scp /home/tayloe/filename   [email protected]:/home/tayloe

It works, but it makes me enter a password each time.  I generated a key pair on the local box (using ssh-keygen -t rsa) and copied the contents of the resulting id_rsa.pub file to a file called authorized_keys on the remote box.  The authorized keys file is in the following 2 directories on the remote box:

/home/tayloe
/home/tayloe/.ssh

I wasn't sure which directory it should be in, so I put it in both.  That procedure is supposed to make it so it stops asking for a password each time, but it still does.  

Help!!
