using SSH keys

[devinodaniel]

would love to have ability to use SSH keys to authenticate instead of password

Funny you should bring that up, I was just thinking about that last night and how I want to incorporate that sooner rather than later.

[devinodaniel]

:) If I get some time this week or next, I can try to take a stab at implementation unless you think you might get there sooner.

[scottdware]

That sounds great!

This feature would be quite useful.

[scottdware]

Stay tuned! I'll be issuing a commit soon which adds this feature. Just need to finish up some testing.

[scottdware]

Ok, just committed the changes and updated the README, which describes how to connect. Let me know if you run into any issues!

[zachfi]

Oh great! That looks pretty similar to the code I was working up a few days ago to send. Thanks for taking a look @scottdware. I'll be able to test in the next few days.

This worked for me, though I had to generate a passphrase-less key. The passphrase handling didn't seem to work and I didn't dig in.

[scottdware]

I'll take a look at that today. I don't think I used a passphrase as well during my initial testing.

On a Windows machine, I was able to connect with a passphrase-enabled key. I'll try on another OS as well.
