Hi Jörg,
using the known_hosts file for SFTP connections is supported in the current V5 beta which you can get here.
Unfortunately, ssh-agent support in SFTP/SCP connections is currently not supported because we use a third-party library (Rebex) to implement those connection types and they currently don't have ssh-agent support.
cheers,

Hi, any updates on this?
I've switched to RoyalTS from using the Devolutions RDM, which has this support, while they're also using Rebex as the SFTP library for that.
I've actually tried the SFTP connection with a SSH key added to the pageant ssh-agent (disabled the built-in RDM one) and it worked fine. So, is this still unsupported by Rebex?
I also would like this feature, I use 1Password to manage all my SSH key's and would rather keep them separate from Royal TSX. The SSH plugin already uses the SSH agent and that works great! So it would be nice to have SFTP work the same.
Sorry, I am using V6.1 TSX with key in my MacosX home dir - connect via ssh works fine but Adhoc-SFTP does not work. Is there an configuration example for use ? Thanks and reagards, Jens.
Hi Jens,
unfortunately Royal TSX does not currently support SSH agents for SFTP connections.
regards,
Felix

For my SSH connections I don't add the private key file to TSX, but my password manager automatically loads my SSH keys to the ssh-agent and TSX uses the keys from the agent.
As confirmed by the TSX support, this currently does not work for SFTP Connections as they are implemented via Rebex.
It would be great if the ability to use the ssh-agent was also available for SFTP connections.
BTW: Using the known_hosts file for SFTP connections would be great too.
