\S{pscp-pubkey} Using public key authentication with PSCP
Like PuTTY, PSCP can authenticate using a public key instead of a
-password. There are two ways you can do this.
+password. There are three ways you can do this.
Firstly, PSCP can use PuTTY saved sessions in place of hostnames
(see \k{pscp-usage-basics-host}). So you would do this:
hostname: type \c{pscp sessionname:file localfile}, where
\c{sessionname} is replaced by the name of your saved session.
-Secondly, PSCP will attempt to authenticate using Pageant if Pageant
+Secondly, you can supply the name of a private key file on the command
+line, with the \c{-i} option. See \k{using-cmdline-identity} for more
+information.
+
+Thirdly, PSCP will attempt to authenticate using Pageant if Pageant
is running (see \k{pageant}). So you would do this:
\b Ensure Pageant is running, and has your private key stored in it.
For more general information on public-key authentication, see
\k{pubkey}.
