Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Managing SSH hosts, their configuration, including keys, are usually done through .ssh/config. Recent versions of Windows (10+) come with a OpenSSH installation, including the ssh-agent. The configuration & keys loaded by the SSH agent do not seem to work:

  • CyberDuck is unable to resolve hostnames listed in the .ssh/config file.
  • Based on the documentation, ssh-agent is only supported on Linux (and Mac?)

Describe the solution you'd like
Currently Cyberduck (and Mountain Duck) seem to only support PuTTY & PageAnt, OpenSSH support on Windows would be much appreciated.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Falling back to using PuTTY & PageAnt, requires me to maintain multiple programs for the same task.
