The Eclipse IDE has integrated support for the Secure SHell transport protocol and GIT revision control system. I use rsync.net for remote backup of personal data, and also for hosting personal, private software projects. rsync.net provides manual GIT access over SSH for any account.

While setting up a remote shared GIT repository I noticed that my password-protected 4096 bit RSA OpenSSH key was not compatible with the Eclipse IDE. I generated a 1024 DSA key from within Eclipse, added id_dsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server, and then was able to use a private key from within Eclipse.
