In general the ssh keys are generated onto the client side then the public key is sent to the server. Example with Sourceforge : http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/SSH%20keys

Did you make your key with a passphrase ? Sorry, I don't understand your questions ... :-( I have to indicate a key file to Jenkins to connect to the server (not my server). I think that this key file is depending on the server, no ? Can I simply generate it on my computer ? I don't think so ... Thanks, Xavier
