        This would require the SSH private key be stored on the Blesta server (probably not smart).

        Moreover, our SFTP library (supplied by phpseclib) doesn't support key-based authentication with SFTP.

        Actually looks like key authentication is supported: http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/ssh/auth.html#rsakey.
