Generate an SSH Key
To generate a secure public/private key pair to log in securely, and without a password (if you want) from the command line (on your box, not logged into ftp, and replacing "username" and "yourdomain" with yours)
type:
ssh-keygen -d
hit enter three times and type:
scp ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub username@ftp.yourdomain.com:.ssh/authorized_keys2
enter password and type:
ssh username@ftp.yourdomain.com
You're logged in!
