Question : ssh shell not working on solaris 10

I just installed SSH via http://www.openssh.com/portable.html . Used .configure, make, make install commands and all worked without errors.
I installed it in the directory: /usr2/mydir/openssh-5.5p1/
$ssh -V
returns OpenSSH_5.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004.......
$ssh-keygen -t rsa
The above way I generated the public and private keys: myKey (private one), myKey.pub (public one).
Where (which directory) do I need to keep the file: myKey
and where on the other server do I keep the myKey.pub file?

One tutorial says:
mkdir ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
etc.

What is "mkdir ~/.ssh" command, I cannot execute it on Solaris 10 server.

Did you run ssh-keygen as the ftpuser?

You should probably also try to use DSA keys rather than RSA, as some ssh configs might have RSA key support disabled.
