Uses my ssh keys and ssh "aliases"
Authored by: Don Faulkner on Feb 09, '04 11:21:49AM

I haven't tried transmit yet, but I really like the way this software uses my SSH public/private keypairs automatically.

I'm using the excellent SSHKeychain application, so my keys are available immediately after login. I can launch Fugu and tell it to connect to 'foobar' (or whatever) and it does two nice things:
1. It looks up 'foobar' in my .ssh/config file
2. It logs in using the key in my SSH Keychain agent.

Effectively, I just type 'foobar' and I'm in. Very nice. The only thing that would improve this is if Fugu read my config file and displayed my various 'aliased' hosts for me, without having to recreate favorites.

I guess I'll send them an email, then go try transmit...
