[ale] automating an ssh script?

[ChangingLINKS.com]

Okay, it looks like I made _some_ major progress, but I still cannot do 
anything without giving a passphrase.
Thanks to Michael Hirsh (and others) for giving me some directions that I 
could use to get some results. Here are the commands that I ran. Can someone 
edit these so that I know what I did wrong?

rm -rf ~/.ssh   //to start .ssh from scratch
ssh-keygen -t rsa1  //to generate type1 public and private keys
cp ~/.ssh/identity ~/.ssh/authorized_keys  //to create a file for the remote 
machine
cp ~/.ssh/identity.pub ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2  //ditto
ftp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys AND  ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 to remote machine's 
~/.ssh //upload files
ssh user at shell1.host.com //test .ssh to see if it works
exit  //thinking I should exit to run next command locally
eval `ssh-agent`
ssh-add ~/.ssh/identity
ssh user at shell1.host.com //testing to see if I connect passphraseLESS
eval `ssh-agent` //failed to connect without passphrase, decided to run eval 
on remote machine

FAILED TO CONNECT WITHOUT USING A PASSPHRASE.

I do not own the remote box. How can I "Ensure that RSA authentication is 
enabled for both the server ("RSAAuthentication yes" in sshd_config on the 
server"? Tried downloading the file from my server - permission denied. Ftp 
client crashed second time.
