I use public / private keys to connect to SFTP using port 22. I don't use password, unless only to access private keys. Actual user accounts are not allowed to login using userid / password combination.

Is it possible to add this ability to support SFTP with public/private keys to FreeFileSync?

Thanks for a great product and your time reading this message.

I assume you want to use a PEM or PPK private key + password?

I've added support for authentication via OpenSSL PEM private keys:
