Key operations (General questions)

I'm not sure if I totally understand the key process when doing secure ftp. The public key would be generated once, on the client side. Would we have to place that key on the host side... in order for those two to talk to each other?
Or... would we send the public key, the first time we talk to the host?
From what I understand... both public keys need to match.
Do we, then... use a private key to talk during that send?
This process will only be sending files to the host.
Is it even necessary to use a private key?
I'll be using ftpdlx...
I'd appreciate any help you can give me
