I think the problem is clear, I have a bunch of files in a file

Yes. Copy your ~/.ssh/id.pub to the server ~/.ssh/authorized_keys - it
is done with this command:
ssh-copy-id [email protected]
then you will not be asked for a password, just as usual:
ssh [email protected]
You might want to have a pass-phrase on your local ~/.ssh/id and then
use 'ssh-add' once when you boot your local machine, and you will
only have to type your pass-phrase once every boot.
Maybe this should go into the parallel man page.
