Ssh in the background

Hi,

I am trying to execute an ssh command in my script.
ssh abcd@server_name
After this command it actually logs in to the server asking for password prompt and then actually logs in to the server.

I want all this to be happening in the background and show noithing in the output of my script.
I just want to login to the server in the background and check if the file exists and sftp it.

How do i do it ? without showing anything on my script.
