| + | Use the //Private key file// box to specify [[local_path|local path]] to your [[public_key#private|private key file]] if you are going to use [[public_key|public key authentication]].

If the private key is passphrase-protected, you will be [[ui_authenticate#private_key_passphrase|prompted for passphrase]] once the authentication begins. If you have your private keys loaded into [[ui_pageant|Pageant]], leave the box blank, unless you want to ensure that only that particular key is used for authentication. | ||
