How to use SSH and remote web server with a Mac

This is the first time I'm doing this. I generated a key on my Mac and I have id_dsa, id_dsa.pub. I imported public key into my cPanel. After reading a few tutorials and blogs I'm still lost. How can I connect to my server from this point?

To connect, you would do this: ssh -l yourusername the.server.address from Terminal.

For instance, your username is kira, and your server is my.server.net:

ssh -l kira my.server.net

You will be prompted for your password, and the you're in (provided you enter a correct password of course)
