Allow user to specify identity file #27

Closed ethomas2 closed 6 years ago

ethomas2 commented 6 years ago

I would like to mpssh into many machines using a different identity file than my default one. I.e, instead of sshing into machines using the default private key ~/.ssh/id_rsa I would like to provide a specific private key ~/.ssh/other_id_rsa.

With ssh, this can be accomplished using the -i option. ssh -i ~/.ssh/other_id_rsa my-host.com

More generally, it would be nice to be able to pass in arbitrary parameters to the underlying ssh processes. The only use case I have right now is for the -i option, but I could see many other options potentially being useful in the future, especially the -o option (actually -o IdentityFile=foo would replace the need for -i)

Made a pull request (just for -i, not for -o)

I agree, -o sounds better, but for now I've merged the PR for the -i option.

Thanks
