3238	Add RSA key based authentication for SFTP	kslychan		"mc asks me for user's password on a SSH server whenever I connect to it via SFTP, even though the client's public RSA key is authorized for that user account on the server and I can connect to it via openssh-client without giving password.

Test case:
1. on machine ""foo"", install mc, openssh-client
2. on machine ""foo"", use ssh-keygen to generate a pair of RSA keys
3. on machine ""bar"", install openssh-server
4. on machine ""bar"", add the contents of machine A's ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
5. verify that you can connect from foo to bar without being asked for password: ssh bar (or: ssh differentusername@bar)
6. if 5., then run mc, connect via SFTP, enter hostname
7. you're asked for password

Consider using key-based SSH authentication."	enhancement	closed	trivial		mc-vfs		worksforme	ssh sftp rsa key	richlv@… dnh@… mooffie@…			no branch
