can't figure out ssh, read lots of docs...

I'm trying to use scp and I get prompted for a password or passphrase for each
invocation.
I figure I need to figure out how to get ssh to connect without prompting, but
I just can't get it. I've read all the man pages and my head is swirling. I
went to the OpenSSH web site and got no further. I've been in the business
for 28 years and can usually figure things out from man pages, but ssh
doesn't seem to be clear enough. I've been unemployed for over a year and
can't afford the OReilly book right now (which I'm offering as my defense for
asking here).
I've got two free chapters from the OReilly book, but they don't help.
I've used ssh-keygen and I'm trying to login to the localhost (using it's
hostname).
Anybody know of a short tutorial that just works?
