----

===== Step 1 - Download and install FileZilla Client =====

Download the latest version of //FileZilla Client// for your OS (Windows 10, Linux or macOS) from https://filezilla-project.org. 

To install //FileZilla Client//, execute the downloaded .exe file (Windows 10) or extract the downloaded .tar.bz2 file (Linux/macOS).

===== Step 2 - Add private key file =====

Open //FileZilla Client// and select //Settings...// in the //Edit// menu:

Locate and open the private key file from the SSH key pair which should be used for public key authentication.

If prompted, click //Yes// in the //Convert key file// dialog box and execute the conversion of the selected private key file into a format supported by //FileZilla Client//.

In the conversion procedure, you have to use the password associated with the SSH key pair, i.e., the password/passphrase you originally defined when creating the SSH key pair.

The added private key file should now be displayed in the //Private keys// list. Klick //OK// for the changes to take effect:
