ssh access

enable shell access in SiteAdmin, under Advanced Tools
on your local machine, generate an ssh key pair
```
ssh-keygen -t dsa
```
press enter through the options
connect to your site via ftp, and create a .ssh directory at your home location (NOT in public_html) if it doesn't already exist
copy your ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub file to your remote site, inside the .ssh directory
create a new file (or append to it) called authorized_keys in .ssh on the remote, and add the contents of the id_dsa.pub file
you should now be able to ssh to the remote like this
```
ssh remoteuser@remotehost.com
```
