Creation of private/public keys using SSH2 and uploading it to the appropriate server so I will not be prompted for my password any time I want to get there.
ssh-keygen -t dsa
ssh-copy-id -i /home/gael/.ssh/id_dsa.pub gael@the-doors.enix.org : this will put the public key in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
ssh $remoteHost "{ cd $remoteBackupFolder; md5sum $i; }"
$SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND is the environment variable which is sent by SSH when using any SSH client

To turn on the key authentication:
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys

drwx------ 2 gael gael 4096 Aug 14 17:56 .ssh
-rw-r--r-- 1 gael gael 409 Aug 14 17:57 /home/gael/.ssh/authorized_keys
