[ Enhancement] Option to use SSH agent
Instead of entering the private key file, it would be fantastic to use an SSH Agent.
Actually, I don't work with Windows nowadays ... so not much use for NppFTP :frowning:

Are you no longer interesting in continuing development of NppFTP?
If you (or someone else) wants to step up to continue development, I'd welcome it 😀
Unfortunately, I do not have the means or skills to do cpp projects. But would be happy to work with whom ever takes the lead as a tester/reviewer.
See https://www.libssh2.org/examples/ssh2_agent.html and http://api.libssh.org/master/libssh_tutor_guided_tour.html:
The client must authenticate: the classical ways are password, or public keys (from dsa and rsa key-pairs generated by openssh). If a SSH agent is running, it is possible to use it.
, but needs to be further checked how this could be done in a program, see
http://api.libssh.org/master/libssh_tutor_authentication.html#authentication_details
seems ssh_userauth_publickey_auto() should enable it.

Can someone test if this makes Pageant working?

What needs to be done for this? Does it requires to build NppFTP from source?
@jirikraus Jiří, yes. I am not C developer, but if you or someone else is please test it. Please also see the Pageant reference implementation here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12452933/putty-pageant-protocol#13533819
Thanks. Not sure if I find the time to do this as I am neither familiar with the putty pageant API nor the NppFTP source so this seems more involved than just adding a single API call.
I recently discovered KeeAgent, and I would love to be able to use it with NppFTP.
