[CLOSED] Thunar SFTP - How to mount remote share
Update! 
for some reason, downloading the SSH key from one of the web servers didn't work. Generating an SSH key locally and then uploading it (cPanel) worked perfectly. If anyone has a need to edit web pages live on the server then also start the SSH daemon under: Settings > Session and Startup > Application Autostart and finally, check the last box at the bottom "SSH key agent (GNOME key ring)".
After that, it's just the usual. Add the private key via ssh-add and Thunar will do the magic dance.
Here is the original post (for reference).
Hello,
I just installed openssh and did sudo systemctl start sshd.socket (read that in an arch wiki page)
Then I tried to add the ssh key which I downloaded from my web server with
sudo ssh-add /home/username/.ssh/keyname_key
and got this error msg: Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
Does anyone know of a tutorial that works on ArcoLinux and goes trough the steps?
I'd love to mount a web server locally so that I can edit the pages. Thanks - v
