Comment:
Quoting [ticket:4405 dan@…]:
> If you've never connected to a host using public key auth before, but
would like all future connections to use it. You should be able to enable
public key auth, point cyberduck to the priv/public keys. When you make
your first connection you would be prompted for your username and password
and upon successful auth then cyberduck would append your public key to
the authorized_keys and reconnect using public key auth. This saves the
user all the headache of doing this themselves manually. iSSH for the
iPhone/iPad has similar functionality with a Transfer Public Key button.
For now, the user has to manually configure this. Refer to
[wiki:help/en/howto/sftp#Howtoconfigurepublickeyauthentication How to
configure public key authentication?].
