For connecting via SFTP we use the public key. How can I save the password from this key in FileZilla not for a session, but forever?

    “Forever” means “remove the password altogether”.

    as in the case of changing / setting a password, you can remove it using the ssh-keygen program, called with the -p option:

     $ ssh-keygen -p

    first, the path to the secret key will be requested (the default option is ~/.ssh/id_rsa , which you can agree to by pressing enter , or you can enter the path to another file; you can generally specify the path to the file using the -f /путь/к/секретному.ключу option -f /путь/к/секретному.ключу ).

    then the existing password will be requested (of course, if it is set), and if it is entered correctly, the new password will be requested twice. if you do not enter anything both times and press enter , the password will be “empty”, i.e., the secret key will not be encrypted, and nothing will be asked later when using this file with the secret key.
