+##Usage
+Establish an SFTP connection using both password and public-key authentication:
+
+```cs
+var connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo("sftp.foo.com",
+                                        "guest",

+                                        new PrivateKeyAuthenticationMethod("rsa.key"));
+using (var client = new SftpClient(connectionInfo))
+{
+    client.Connect();
