SSH Key path

[gino]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is an option to specify the ssh key itself instead of the path.
Since it is pretty weird that I have to specify a file path instead of the ssh key itself.

Thanks.

You can pass in a key directly by using the keytext configuration option instead of the key option.

This could be mentioned in documentation with maybe more description of remote.php configuration keyes.

i agree, im having a hell of a time trying to use my ssh key in this package.

EDIT: just figured it out, had to copy id_rsa from /root/.ssh to /var/ and set the remote.php config key field to /var/id_rsa

If using windows, and a key file, remember to also use forwards slashes e.g: 'd:/private_key.txt'
