When you generate a key pair, it's usually \emph{highly} advisable to
protect it with a passphrase.  (The only time that you might not want
to do this id when you're using the ssh protocol for automated tasks

On Unix-like systems, it's common for users to have a subdirectory
named something like \dirname{public\_html} in their home directory,
