I'm not following. For me to be able to connect to the server, *one* thing
must be transfered: *my* public key *to* the server. Nothing needs to be
permanently transfered from the server to me(except the host fingerprint,
typically on the first connect). Right? Exactly what is it you refer to when
writing "you must have transferred them from the server to your machine"?

How do I verify/investigate this? How do I find out if the server side is dsa
or rsa?
