Fedora Users — Re: ssh:// in nautilus

Or use ssh-add on the command line in some other window and enter your pass phrase to the key. Once this is done, all other applications will automatically use the key. I confirmed this with FC2 and nautilus.

It would be nice if the ssh-add was done automatically and/or managed from the task bar.

It works quite well but it has a quirk.  It doesn't support prompting
for a password.  If the SSH connection prompts for a password, or
anything at all, you will receive an "Invalid Action Associated"
message.

Also, you may want to try the sftp:// handler.  It may be better.

What I have done is to create a SSH key without a passphrase.  Just take
extra care that no one gets their hands on the private key...

You can create a key something like this:
 ssh-keygen -t dsa -C "My Favorite SSH Key"
