[RESOLVED] SSH setup on Mac Terminal

Mac users…

As part of a web project they’re letting me use my MacBook Pro OS X 10.6.4 to ssh into their web server. They told me to ssh in as root but all they gave me was a .pem file (public key) and the IP of the server. No root password included, no instructions.

[COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]I need to know exactly what steps to take (idiot proof please) to setup on my mac (i.e. Terminal setup, what to do with this .pem) so I can ssh using Terminal with only the file and info I got.[/COLOR]

I cannot use 3rd party software to make the ssh connection – don’t ask, this is a client rule, it’s beyond my control no matter how weird. Help must be for Mac.

Help!
