SFTP using key pair

I can't figure out how to use SmartFTP to access my Amazon EC2 host. I normally use ssh or sftp using a key file, as in:

sftp -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/pk-ec2-keypair.pem ec2-174-129-230-30.compute-1.amazonaws.com

But I don't see any option to specify a key to SFTP. If I just try to FTP over SSH using username and password it fails with:

You can set the keyfile in the SSH dialog in the favorite properties. To access the favorite properties:
1. menu: Favorites -> Edit Favorites
2. Locate your favorite. Look in the Quick Connect folder
3. Right-click on the favorite and select Properties
