If you are using openssh on the server, run 'man sshd' and read the
section titled "AUTHORIZED_KEYS_FILE_FORMAT". Or check
http://www.openssh.com/, there is a link to manuals on the left side.
Bassically you need to put your public key from host A in the file
~/.ssh/authorized_keys on host B, where ~ is the home directory for
whatever user you trying to connect as. You will need to make sure that
~/.ssh is 700 permissions also. You will want to be sure that you can
authenticate with your key on the command line before you try to do so
with Ant.
In you ant build.xml you need to specify to location of the private key,
relative to ${basedir}, or use an absolute path.
