Can a Cisco Device use RSA authentication for SSH

A person in our group is trying to scp files from a Cisco IOS
device to a FreeBSD work station. The Cisco box uses an RSA key
and sshd on the FreeBSD system won't recognize the algorithm.
The error message on the Cisco side of things looks like:

   000039: Jun  5 14:13:59.623 CDT: SSH2 0: hostkey algo not supported:
   client ssh-rsa, server ssh-dss

Is there a safe way to make this work?

	Thank you.
