You can copy the key to the server using ssh-copy-id. The nice part about that is it fixes the permissions up automatically.
Secondly, there are many programs available to protect your ssh server from brute force attacks. Personally I use DenyHosts, which is a highly configurable python script that montiors your ssh log file and bans users who try and connect to many times with wrong usernames or passwords.
More information about DenyHosts can be found at their website: <a href="http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/" title="sourceforge.net">http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/</a sourceforge.net>
