from man ssh,
-i identity_file
Selects the file from which the identity (private key) for RSA
authentication is read
RSA keys are for ssh1 (AFAIK).
You can specify an alternate identity file for ssh2 using the IdentityFile2 directive
in your $HOME/.ssh/config file.
IdentityFile2
Specifies the file from which the user's DSA authentication iden-
tity is read (default $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa in the user's home direc-
tory). The file name may use the tilde syntax to refer to a us-
er's home directory. It is possible to have multiple identity
files specified in configuration files; all these identities will
be tried in sequence.
