SSH write issues

Trying to use SSH to get into my server.

Used both ExpanDrive, Fugu and WebDrive previously with success.

Drive mounts, but does not allow copying to server or from server.

Message from server states:

One or more items can’t be copied to “files.server.com” because you
don’t have permission to read them. Do you want to copy the items you
are allowed to read?

With a choice of Stop or Continue.

I have deleted the sshnodelay file from macfusion. I have increased
timeouts and used advanced options to try and get the right
permissions, but it fails to work.

I can see my files. However I can't do anything with them.

I figured out my problem.

First, using password authentication wasn't working.
So I set my server to use Private/Public Keys only for SSH.

Next, I created my id_rsa and id_dsa keys using ssh-keygen, then
copied those keys to a server directory
and pointed the Public Key field (My server is a Windows FTP/SSH
server, Serv-U) towards that directory.

Then I set MacFusion with the option string to -o defer_permissions,
and it all started working.

Now if there was a way to AutoMount the share, it would be all set.
