Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported OpenSSH private key type: ssh-ed25519

[kissgyorgy]

Is this a similar or duplicate feature request?

• Yes: Please support ed25519 key #45 but It has been closed, but this still doesn't work, but can be fixed easily I think, see below
• No

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
id_ed25519 keys are not accepted with Cannot parse privateKey: Unsupported OpenSSH private key type: ssh-ed25519 error

Describe the solution you'd like
This issue in ssh2 repo: mscdex/ssh2#352 says that this has been solved:

Full Ed25519 support now available in ssh2 v0.8.3 when used with node v12.0.0.

So I suppose a simple ssh2 update would solve this?

Does this project help you?

• Not yet, I only use id_ed25519 keys for ssh at this point. Would be awesome if this would work!
• Yes. SFTP IS AWESOME!

Not until VS Code ship with node v12

Looks like VS Code is using Node.js v12 now :-)
