There's "ssh-copy-id" to do this bit a little easier:

$ ssh-copy-id user@host

takes care of putting all loaded identities into that user@host's
authorized_keys file. If the key isn't already loaded as an identity
(or you only mean to add a specific one) you can force it to use it
like:

$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/mykey user@host

Cheers,
Andy
