SSH SFTP connection + command + SSH Password
This is my first time connecting from WinSCP to a SFTP server and I have a few problems/questions.
Firstly I've got the process running when there's no SSH auth and the user just needs a password.
Now I'm running into a problem when SSH auth is required.
Also note that I can connect with FileZilla using a private key and the same user.
So I connect via the command script below:
option batch abort
option confirm off
open sftp://[user]@[domain] -hostkey="[hostkey]"
get -delete *.txt D:\Temp\*.txt
exit
I know the username and domain are right as I can connect without SSH auth and the hostkey is right as I have matched it to the one in the log below.
Here's the log when I connect (a lot of info removed):

Now my question is with regards to the lines:
. 2014-02-05 10:54:26.703 User name: [user] (Password: No, Key file: No)
and
. 2014-02-05 10:54:27.875 Prompt (7, SSH password, , &Password: )
First of all, should Key file be Yes if it requires an SSH key?
Secondly, is the password prompt for the user on the SFTP server or a passphrase for the SSH key? I turned off password required for the user in the SFTP software and when I generated my key on the server I didn't use a passphrase.
I've also loaded a public key against the user in the SFTP software, so how do I go about sending through the key from the WinSCP command line? I've added both the public and private keys to my .ssh dir.
Thanks in advance.
