Use an SSH private key instead of a password

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you have a private key set up, for example for use with connectbot, then 
sshtunnel should permit using that key to authenticate rather than a password.

SSHTunnel support key authentication from a very early edition, please READ 
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY before you start!
From 1.3.3, you can even manage your key as you wish. (press MENU button, you 
would find a Key Manager option)

Where are the instructions for this?  I can't get it to work, either.

I've put a key in sshtunnel/key and used used the key manager to select another 
private key, either way it just says it can't connect. I add in a password and 
it connects. Is this feature still working?

I can't get it to work with a password protected private key, if I use an 
unprotected key it works fine but if I use a password protected key, it doesn't 
ask for a password so it fails to connect
