Connecting to SFTP with a Private Key, not password

[Patrick Delahanty]

I've got a site up on Amazon Lightsail. To connect via SFTP, I need to use a private key and not a password.  I can connect fine via SSH in Terminal (after changing the .ssh/config file) and via Transmit for SFTP, but I can't figure out how or where to configure BBEdit to be able to connect and reference a private key file.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thank you!

It should be automatic, I have this in my .ssh/config file and BBEdit works as expected as does Transmit:

linux: ~/.ssh > cat config
Host redacted.org
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/us-east.pem

Cheers
