What settings will I need to set up my public key for SSH?

Your public key needs to be generated for SSH2 and RSA Authentication. It needs to be 1024 bits long.

It also must be edited so that the entire key fits on one single long continuous line. To do this, edit the local copy of your key using Notepad or Simple Text (making sure to turn off Word Wrap) and remove any carriage returns that your key generation program may have included at the ends of lines. Once you’ve done that, you can copy it into the Add Public Key... dialogue found on the Aplus.Net Control Panel Version 2.0 (To access that menu, go to Websites, then Hosted Domains, then select your utility domain, and finally select the Secure Shell icon).
