One way might be to include the password in the ssh command:

	  $ ssh username:password at vps.example.net

That-a-way it's all done in one go.

Well, I always experience the "puccker factor" when I need to ssh into
my vps from a 'public' machine, or while in an airport, or the somesuch.

Of course, we would be remiss not to recommend ssh public/private key 
authentication.  Except that would be even worse in the case of a _public_ 
machine.....
