The easy way.

cd ~/.ssh 
cat id_dsa.pub | ssh host 'cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2'

(replace host with the host or ip address as required)

scp will overwrite.  You may already have other keys in the
authorized_keys file and not want to use scp.  _OR_  Use scp to copy the
file to deleteme and then use vi with mouse drag drops or whatever
method you choose like redirection to succeed.  As long as the result is
to append the contents of id_dsa from the client to the authorized_keys2
file on the server.
