    Is there anyway to add a password into the scp command string?
    something like.

    scp file [email protected] password location

    If you don't want to enter password, you will need to use keys. Use ssh-keygen to create a private/public key pair, copy the public part to the destination server ($HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys) and there you go: no more password typing.
