            Bug ID: 451755
           Summary: Can't use RSA identity key file with sftp Network
                    Folder
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.12.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: ioo+kde at posteo.net

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
I am setting up a Network connection with Dolphin using the sftp protocol. I
have a ~/.ssh/config file with the server information and a server that uses an
RSA identity file. When I fill out the information and click "Save & Connect".
Dolphin asks me for a password. This is incorrect because I am using an
identity file.

If I change the protocol to fish, dolphin prompts me (correctly) for the
password of the RSA identity file. So fish works as expected while sftp does
not work.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Select Remote-Network-Add Network Folder
3. Fill in information for a stanza from the ssh config file with a rsa
identity file
4. Select sftp as the protocol.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin incorrectly asks for a password

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin will correctly use the identity file when using sftp, the same as it
does when selecting the fish protocol.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.24
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Is this bug somehow related to this very old issue in midnight commander:
https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3238

It looks like mc corrected the issue years ago, did Dolphin use this old code?
