Describe the feature request

How can a client connect to a server through ssh-key?

My VM server uses ssh-key. When the client connects to the server through SSH, you need to specify the local ssh-key path.Do you have the corresponding configuration parameters in the frpc.ini file?

Describe alternatives you've considered

I think we can add a parameter:
[common]
server_addr = x.x.x.x
server_port = 7000
ssh-key = ssh-key-server01.key

Affected area

Docs
Installation
Performance and Scalability
Security
User Experience
Test and Release

frp don't use ssh protocol. You don't need ssh-key to connect your frps.

If you want to use SSH for proxying then frp isn't the solution but you can just start a local proxy server on the client and ssh to a server with a remote forward port of the local server for it to be accessible by the SSH server.
