Remembering of SSH Private Key file location does not function properly

[cyberduck]

4e25709 created the issue

Server bookmarks allow one to set/remember the file location of the SSH Private Key. This initial aspect works correctly, as for each of my sites the bookmark does indeed remember the file location correctly (see first screenshot), when viewed via the "Edit Bookmark" panel.

However, this remembered file location does not actually get implemented at the server connection stage, whereupon CyberDuck always defaults to the .ssh folder (see second attached screenshot) and asks me to locate the key, and does not respect the remembered key file location.

This is extremely frustrating as many of us need to connect to 10+ servers that we are managing, and every time you connect to one you have to locate the private key from scratch. Please fix ASAP or I may need to switch to another product

+1 for fixing this bug! I experience it every day.

I am on Big Sur 11.5.2 M1 Mac mini, Cyberduck Version 7.10.2 (35432), downloaded from App Store

This should be an issue in the Mac App Store version only as we fail to save the security scoped bookmark for the selected file. It works when the file is inside {{.ssh}} as we have set a temporary entitlement

        <key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.home-relative-path.read-write</key>
        <array>
            <string>/.ssh/</string>
            <string>/.aws/</string>
        </array>

As a workaround please switch to the version from our website. You can request a registration key from [mailto:support@cyberduck.io].
