Setup SSH on Dreamhost (Run this in LOCAL terminal)

# Replace any brackets with real values

# Before you start this, ensure that you have added shell (ssh) access for your hosted account (not just sftp/ftp).

# You may need to generate a new ssh key; if so, follow instructions to generate ssh key
ssh-keygen -t rsa

# Add to authorized keys on DREAMHOST
# For OSX:
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh [user]@[host] "mkdir ~/.ssh; cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
# Else:
ssh-copy-id [user]@[host]
