create an ssh key using MAC or Linux platforms

open a terminal and enter the command 

"ssh-keygen". Accept all default filenames.

Choose a passphrase when asked for one. Then email the sys admins the file 

.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Directories starting with a . are normally not visible, so it might be easiest to first copy that file into your home directory: 

cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
