Yes I did exactly that but following advice from this mailing list have
changed to DSA and imposed a passphrase.

I used Nautilus to transfer the files. Copied the file from my machine
and pasted it into the server's directory. I have the servers as
bookmarks in Nautilus. After entering the password for my machine's
keyring, only once per session, entering the remote server is instant
and easy. However terminal access is still needed sometimes for
re-starting services, iptables and changing ownership - hence my need
for SSH command line access to the servers.
