sftp connection with keyfile authentication

[tob]

Is there the possibility to connect via sftp with using a private keyfile to authenticate? I found the syntax to connect via sftp with username:password:

sftp://username:password@sftp.foo.org

I am able to connect to the sftp server via command line in the terminal, using:
sftp -oPort=<xxx> -oUser=<user> -oIdentityFile=/path/to/file/key_rsa <user>@<server>.org

But I could not figure out how to connect by using a private key for athentication with krusader. Is there a possibility?

Thanks a lot!

I am using ubuntu Gnome 9.04 and Krusader 2.0.0

To use make sure your keys are setup in .ssh on the home machine. Make sure that your public key is setup in authorized-keys on the remote machine.

In Krusader, using the new remote connection button, specify an sftp connection to the remote supplying a username and no password.

If you have things setup correctly it will just work without asking for a password.
