Read IdentityFile setting from OpenSSH configuration in ~/.ssh/config

I'd love to have my ~/.ssh/config host aliases work in Cyberduck, and it would be sweet to have it already know the right identity files too.

This is pretty important for SFTP. As a web dev with multiple clients with multiple environments, SSH aliases are the only way to be efficient. Any news?

Dear Caberduck Team,
there seems to be a little glitch with this nice feature. I will try to explain what I observe here (Cyberduck 3.1.2, Mac OS 10.5.6):
I use a ~/ssh/config to allow multiple keys. In the config I have Host * and then lines setting IdentityFile. This works pretty well with plain ssh. Cyberduck seems to ignore the default key files (i.e. id_dsa), which is not in my ~/ssh/config. If I remove the Host * and replace it with Host <full.host.name>, then Cyberduck seems to behave and also uses the id_dsa. I would expect to see the same behaviour as if connecting via plain ssh.
Cheers,
-- Jan

There is currently no support for wildcards in the config. Must be tracked in a separate ticket.
