[M2] Use key agent to handle SCP authentications

[Jose Gonzalez Gomez <jg...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

Is there any way to use a SSH key agent (like Pageant in Putty) to
handle SCP authentications? As far as I know the only way to use a
protected private key is to write down the password in the settings
files, am I wrong? I would like to avoid this if possible...

Thanks in advance, best regards
Jose

Hi,

As far as I know I think you are right. If you are using keys for 
authentication on a server, you are also required to specify a password 
phrase for that key.
