Copy a tar file from remote server

[Xiao Cai]

use RSA authentication.
do like follow to generate a rsa key pairs:
$ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/identity
$cd .ssh
$scp identity.pub user at remotehost:~/.ssh/
then logon to remote host:
$cd ~/.ssh
$cat identity.pub >> authorized_keys
$chmod 640 authorized_keys
$rm -f identity.pub

ps:this maybe just work for ssh1.

hope this can help you.
