Re: Re: Public key SSH with Midnight Commander
sshfs ip.address.of.host: mountpoint -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_remote The reference from the sshfs help output and manpage is a bit obscure refering the reader to the ssh_config man page for ssh option where IdentityFile is described. Better method: specify the identify file per host in ~/.ssh/config. That will work with sshfs and anything else using openssh as a backend. E.g. Host foo IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa_foo However, if your authentication agent has a key loaded, the ssh connection should try to use it for a connection, so you could just make sure you've ssh-added all the identity files prior to using sshfs/mc etc. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
