Dear Criss;
Do you have password-based SSH access to an account on your server? Make sure the ~/.sshdirectory exist and has the correct permissions. And use the following command:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | ssh username@remote_host "mkdir -p ~/.ssh && touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys && chmod -R go= ~/.ssh && cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"
