Set keyfile to use for SFTP

16 September 2016 1 min read

If you want to specify the keyfile used for an SFTP connection, you can use the following:

sftp -i /path/to/private/keyfile user@machine1:/path/to/file user@machine2:/path/to/file

Found this useful? Everything here is free and stays that way. If it saved you an afternoon, you can buy me a coffee.
