The simplest way is to run sshd on the remote machine, and connect via
ssh -l <login id on remote machine> <remote machine name or ip addr>

The key is required only for logins without giving passwords. Read below.

This generates two files - one called identity and another called
identity.pub. Copy the identity.pub file to the remote host, in your
~/.ssh directory and name it authorized_keys, now ssh will not ask for
a password (it will only ask for the passphrase that you gave - you can
have it empty also). Try using the ssh-add program to have ssh ask for
the passphrase only once per session.
Having said that, you should be using DSA keys instead of the RSA keys that
this process generates. Read the man pages of ssh-add, ssh-keygen, ssh etc.
