Private key login

Generate your key with ssh-keygen on your Ubuntu SSH Server:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Read the terminal output and notice the private key path(generaly :~/.ssh/id_rsa ). Now copy the file to your Android SD Card and choose it in Ubuntu Remote Control -> Settings -> load private key. And no more user password is needed.
