[winswitch] How to connect using ssh when I have to specify the private key file?

[Heng Zhou]

Thank you for  the reply. I have successfully connected from command line.
Also, I learnt to use Pageant to store the key file so that I can use Xpra
launcher in Windows to connect without providing a password. Thank you
again and Merry Christmas!
