Q:

Using SSH Keys in Transmit to connect via SFTP

I'm using Transmit to connect via SFTP to a server. I know that the public key is properly uploaded etc. because I can connect via SSH on the command line.
For some reason I can't connect with SFTP in Transmit. My keys are in the default location (~/.ssh) so I can't imagine Transmit is having a hard time finding them.

A:

I sent an email to the makers of transmit to get technical support and it was confirmed that I had encountered a bug. It seems a key with a . in the name will not be recognized by the software -- it can not be loaded up either manually or automatically.
Renaming my keys to remove the . solved the problem.
