SFTP command with certificate authentication
Hello list,
I am attempting to connect from a Redhat 6 machine to another linux machine. When I use the SSH command and specify my private key to use this it all connects fine, however there doesn't seem to be an option in the SFTP command to specify my private key for authentication.
In cygwin for windows I can just use the -i switch as follows:
sftp -i c:\cygwin\home\sshkeys\private_key user@sftpserver
However the -i switch doesn't seem to exist in Redhat/CentOS 6.
Can anyone shed some light on how I can get the same functionality to work from Redhat?
thanks

NAME
x509 - X.509 certificate handling
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/x509.h>
DESCRIPTION
A X.509 certificate is a structured grouping of information about an individual, a device, or anything one can imagine. A X.509 CRL
(certificate revocation list) is a tool to help determine if a certificate is still valid. The exact definition of those can be found in
the X.509 document from ITU-T, or in RFC3280 from PKIX. In OpenSSL, the type X509 is used to express such a certificate, and the type
X509_CRL is used to express a CRL.
A related structure is a certificate request, defined in PKCS#10 from RSA Security, Inc, also reflected in RFC2896. In OpenSSL, the type
X509_REQ is used to express such a certificate request.
To handle some complex parts of a certificate, there are the types X509_NAME (to express a certificate name), X509_ATTRIBUTE (to express a
certificate attributes), X509_EXTENSION (to express a certificate extension) and a few more.
Finally, there's the supertype X509_INFO, which can contain a CRL, a certificate and a corresponding private key.
X509_..., d2i_X509_... and i2d_X509_... handle X.509 certificates, with some exceptions, shown below.
X509_CRL_..., d2i_X509_CRL_... and i2d_X509_CRL_... handle X.509 CRLs.
X509_REQ_..., d2i_X509_REQ_... and i2d_X509_REQ_... handle PKCS#10 certificate requests.
X509_NAME_... handle certificate names.
X509_ATTRIBUTE_... handle certificate attributes.
X509_EXTENSION_... handle certificate extensions.
