You are transfering the keys fine. ftp with binary mode is the way to do it. Other
modes
of key transfer did not work. You might want to check your /usr/local/etc/sshd_config
file.
Check for the following flags:
UseLogin no
AllowUsers dlreid user2 user3
RSAAuthentication yes
When I tried to change the "UseLogin" to "yes", for some reason, I could not login
at all. When I set it to "no", my RSA authentication works fine. Don't know why, yet.
Hope this helps.
