Maybe I'm confused because I don't really understand how these keys work.
It's like the first time I rented a car with a key fob instead of a real
key, never having seen one of these, I spent a chunk of time trying to
figure out where to put the key fob and how to start the engine without a
key. Now that I know how a key fob works and that there is a button to
push, starting a car with a key fob is a piece of cake.
Now back to the attached link.
I see step 3 is using QP2TERM to create a DSA or RSA key pair.
I see step 6 is FTPing the public key from the iSeries to the PC.
Doesn't this make the iSeries the client and the PC the host and allow the
iSeries to connect to the PC? Does it also allow the PC to connect to the
iSeries?
I did finally get a connection to work but I'm not sure I can explain how I
did it and which of the steps that I did were really necessary and which
ones were not. I'm deleting everything and starting over to see if I can do
it again.

The process is about the same, and as Chris pointed out as well, very easy
if not a bit meticulous.
The trick is to create the key on the IBM i side. See:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1012710
You'll see almost the same process is followed. That document is a bit old
but updated through 7.2.

Doesn't this configure the HMC being the host and the iSeries being the
client? I need the other way around. The iSeries will be my host. There
will be a Window or Linux box connecting to the iSeries.

There is an excellent tutorial, however while its purpose is slightly
different than your ultimate needs, the first part, setting up the SSH is
the same.
Find the technote: "Sending HMC commands from a CL program":
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019126
There is specifically a section on setting up openssh in there.
Clearly the rest of it can be of interest since the HMC is a Linux
appliance. Works from Winders too.

Subject: RE: Calling a program on the i via OpenSSH
Can someone post a link that shows how to set up OpenSSH public / private
keys with the iSeries being the server and a Windows machine being the
client? I don't understand how to configure keys (I'm definitely out of my
league on this) and the only examples that I can find are iSeries to iSeries
or the iSeries as a client and that's not helping me with the Windows part.

Can't you just autostart *SSHD?
I don't have *SECOFR and I can start *SSHD.

Subject: RE: Calling a program on the i via OpenSSH
Since STRTCPSVR *SSHD has to be run by a secofr profile (unless I am reading
the internet incorrectly), I am looking for best practice for starting it
when the system IPLs. Is there a reason not to add it to QSTRUP and compile
it with a *secofr profile with adopt *owner auth? Is there some other
option that I am not finding during my research on automating it's startup?
