#16 sftp plugin: utilize infrastructure for public keys
the sftp plugin seems to be capable only of password login, but with ssh, public key authentication is widespread, and password authentication commonly disabled.
i'd appreciate if ghostcommander sftp supported public keys.
there is no need for dedicated key management in ghostcommander, though: connectbot (and the compatible vx connectbot) offer a service to other android apps so that they can utilize the keys managed there. for example, the agit app uses this to access the keys.
some interfaces are described at [1] (but people deeper into android development probably know how to find their interfaces anyway, and i might be wrong here).
Currently keyfile authentication is supported. But I can agree that it's now made some kind of a lame way. You need to name the private key file as the same as your sftp site and put it to /sdcard/.GhostCommander/keys directory
