The remote end has no way of knowing who is connecting other than the credentials you provide. The remote server has no knowledge of your iSeries user profiles.

1. You can copy your .sh directory to the Home directory of the user profile in which the job will run on the client that will run it. (Yes your iSeries server is a client to the remote SSH server.) Since the remote host already has your public key, this is the easiest way.

2. Modify the production user profile to allow you to logon, and logon and generate the key pair. Send the public key to the remote host. Reset the production user profile to not allow logons.

Basically the public / private key pair needs to be protected as it identifies your access to the remote host(s). I used (s) as you keep sending your public key to additional remote servers as you do more SSH file transfers. The private key is used to protect the tunnel and validate your access to the remote host. This identifies YOU or YOUR Company, not a client machine. (You can pull your private key into Putty on a PC and access the remote server that knows your public key.)
