Krusader : is it possible to connect to remote server with identity file?

private-key, ssh, ubuntu

Solution

I found an answer using `~/.ssh/config` file. Essentially, (create &) edit the above file to include text which looks something like:

Host alias_name
    User user
    HostName host.com
    IdentityFile key.pem

See link for details.

Then, tell Krusader (or ssh in terminal) to connect to alias_name without password or user information.

Ubuntu is FUN!

Problem

I am using https://krusader.org/ in Ubuntu. Do you know if it possible to connect using a private SSH key (pem/ppk file)? I cannot find documentation about that.
