Dolphin allows you to connect to folders on other machines per SSH, but there is no option to specify a key file. But you can add the key to your general SSH configuration (with the added benefit that you also won’t have to specify the keyfile anywhere else, no more -i
on the command line!). This is how it works:
- Locate your private key file, say it’s
~/.ssh/myidentity_rsa
. - Open or create the file
~/.ssh/config
and add the linesHost myhost.net HostName myhost.net IdentityFile ~/.ssh/myidentity_rsa
- Type
fish://user@myhost.net/path/to/folder/
into the location bar. - Now it should ask for the passphrase to your key.
Done!
