  public bool Skip { get; set; }
}

Public Delegate Sub OnPrivateKeyNeededHandler(sender As Object, e As SftpclientPrivateKeyNeededEventArgs)

Remarks

The component fires this event if the public key provided in Key was accepted by the server, but no private key is available for it.

Use this event handler to attach the private key to your Key. The component will pick the key up and continue the authentication.
