Allow password less ssh

For those of us that have sent keys to the remarkable, it would be nice to be able to tell it to use those instead.

This is a great idea! I was actually thinking about having Remarkable Sidekick install an SSH key in the future. Would you want an import option for your private key or simply use an auto-generated one?

It shouldn't need my private key, that should be managed by ssh. (and I would be very suspicious of any app that asked for a private key). It could ask for the public key to copy over (much like ssh-copy-id)

Understood about the public key, I guess what I meant is that I'll need a path at least to the private key unless its just the id_rsa right? I'm using this library for reference and it does support SSH via a key.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-ssh

I would ask for a path to the private key instead of asking for the private key. I don't know what your library will do if you have a passphrase and aren't running sshagent.
