I then get a dialog 'Generate SSH Key Pair' where I have to again enter the same pass phrase, again browse to my private key file () - and it then automatically seems to find the public key file I've been given (.pub). Ignoring that for a moment, I try to browse to my private key file, then enter the pass phrase, and hit the Create keys button. That's a problem, of course, because the key pair I've been give to use is exclusive to the target server - I will need different ones for different servers. Here I run into the first problem: it tells me 'These settings are used for all profiles'. Now, apparently, I need to go to the Authentication tab.

I have been given a private + public key pair, plus a pass phrase.

First of all, I need to set up the FTP profile.

Trying to set this up with Cirrus (having downloaded all content to my local machine) I'm running into two problems setting up a session to connect to the target site: I wish this were for testing only, but I'm in a situation where I need BC/Cirrus badly to create a mirror of a site - I've pulled the files content successfully (very! and efficiently, too! ) with Cirrus but the target server will allow only access by key pair.
