Hey @weilies_chok,

If you add an FTP node and add the credentials and select SFTP you should see the same options, where we have the Private Key field that should be the contents of your OpenSSH formatted private key.

As you are using a Putty format key you may need to convert it to a standard OpenSSH format first.
