Setting up SSH RSA public key authentication
This bit of information was found at a Georgia Tech; it seemed to work better than the DSA encryption methods I had been using.
> mkdir ~/.ssh\r\n > chmod og-rwx ~/.ssh
> ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N ''
> cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
> scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub username@server:.ssh/authorized_keys
