Passwordless SFTP - SCP Option?

I have read documentation on SCP and just trying to figure out how go about doing this - below are two pieces of code, one is SFTP and one is SCP. My goal is to have this done via password-less authentication, fully automated. Currently we use SFTP and the script asks for the password of the account we are connecting to, but we are trying to skip that.

Code:
# Connect to SFTP
echo ""
sftp -b /dev/stdin ${INPUT_APP_LOW}proc@$(hostname) <<EOF
cd $BATCHFILEPATH
lcd /home/etladmin/deploy/$INPUT_APP_LOW/KSH
put $SHELLSCRIPT
chmod 755 $SHELLSCRIPT
quit
EOF

Code:
# Use SCP instead of SFTP
cd /home/etladmin/deploy/$INPUT_APP_LOW/KSH
scp $SHELLSCRIPT ${INPUT_APP_LOW}proc@$(hostname):$BATCHFILEPATH
chmod 755 $BACTCHFILEPATH/$SHELLSCRIPT

Can anyone let me know if my SCP code is correct? Also is there a good link on how to setup password-less authentication so that either SFTP or SCP requires no user input at all.
