Feature Request (Client): Link ppk files to a login

[RobbieLePommie]

Request

When adding server/login details in the client, allow a specific ppk file to be linked to that login.

Background

When using the setings->sftp to import keys, or when using pageant, Filezilla Client will attempt to connect using all ppk files in sequence.

The Issue

This is a security mechanism with AWS/EC2 (Amazon Web Services) and possibly others where you can only attempt to connect 4 times. Each ppk file sent is considered a login attempt, so after 4 certificates, you cannot connect. The only way to rectify is to remove other keys from pageant or FileZilla - which is not desirable if you have lots of servers you connect to.

The solution

When setting the login details, have a property allowing you to specify a ppk file to use. [The "convert .pem function" is also really useful, but not important to this request. The .ppk file is then sent first when attempting to connect to a ssh/sftp server. If no .ppk file is used, fall back and use current method of the general store and/or pageant.

I hope that makes sense. Thanks!
