I'm guessing you mean this page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANYxDOCx2x/Setting+up+ssh So \ant\mysshkey is the private key file that was ftp'd to the local machine in the instruction at the top of the page: give it some file name eg mysshkey and a pass phrase. This should create two files, a private key and a public key (mysshkey, mysshkey.pub). Copy mysshkey.pub to ~/.ssh/authorised_keys. (you may need to create the .ssh directory), and ftp the private key to you local machine. (i use WINSCP). ...ant
