Hi there,

first off, I really like the Dragster concept. I've been looking for something like it! I have one feature request, though:

I'd like Dragster to use my SSH agent for logins to sftp and scp hosts. For the agent part, I use SSHKeychain, which allows me to login to my hosts without re-typing my password every time, but without storing the passwords anywhere (a requirement at my clients' sites), as long as the agent is unlocked.

I don't see an option to use the SSH agent anywhere, and in my tests, neither providing an empty password nor checking "use ssh key auth" in the Advanced window worked.

So, would that be possible? Thanks in advance. (-:

I use SSHKeychain myself, and it would be a useful feature to have, but it's not supported at present. Dragster's modus operandi is to always use the keychain (except for unencrypted private keys in ~/.ssh).
