I'm trying to write a script to scp a file to a remote server. The only problem i'm having is with the password. Anyone know how to SCP without a password (or specify it as a paramater)?

You must add the user public key to server authorised keys list (~/.ssh/authorized_keys2):

See the DropbearPublicKeyAuthenticationHowto.
yes, i saw that. The problem with is that it allows me to ssh into the router, but not from it. I am trying to write a script ON the router to scp to my linux server. And openwrt dosen't seem to have any way to generate a key.

Generate these keys with some other system and just import these to the running OpenWRT. It should work.
i did that, but that allows for connections going FROM my server TO the router. I want to allow connections FROM my router TO my server

There shouldn't be any difference. Put the router root user public key into your server user ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file and you'll be fine.
where can i find the router root user public key?
The discussion might have continued from here.
