Are you sure that Dreamhost doesn't support ssh logins? What "certificate stuff" are you referring to?
Yes it does, that was the point I was making.
I simply type "ssh antonaylward.com" and I'm logged in.
I had generated the certificate locally as per the SSH manual, then I 'push' it using 'ssh-copy-id'. Once that's in place all the SSH operations are "automatic login".
As for the use of 'no encryption', see earlier posts.
Yup, once you use ssh you're stuck with full encryption by design, unless you find binary patches or recompile. I really don't want to do that due to maintainability issues with updates. BTW, did you disable username/password logins on your Dreamhost account? It's "best practice" for a public facing ssh server. You might also deny connection attempts from all IP's except your own remote client. Do you have that level of control with your Dreamhost account? Do you have a VPS or dedicated server? If so, how do you like it? Can you install your own OS through a KVM/IP connection, or do you have use what they give you? Can you "Leap" to your operating system of choice?
