If server do not deny this option, You can use ssh-keys to do this.
Check commands: 

$ssh-keygen -t dsa 
[when it ask about password - just press enter]

Its generate 2 files in ~/.ssh/ directory.

Copy file id_dsa.pub to remote site to directory ~/.ssh as file: 
authorized_keys [chmod this 700]

and when You will try connect via ssh it should check Your keys and login 
Your without password asking [you can have password normally set]
