Secure Shell (SSH) → Global SSH Authentication Files

Global authentication files are useful if you connect to a variety of hosts, where you use the same public/private (identity) key files for authentication.

These files are used for authentication, when you make a connection via Quick Connection or via Host Directory and if you choose 'Global SSH Key Files' there for the ssh-key field.

Alternately, you can set the option to always use the global key files for all connections, so that you will not have to choose this option for each individual connection.

The Global Authentication Files dialog is available through the Tools menu.
