You can also set up a personalised ssh config file in the ~/.ssh
directory of the user employed to establish the sftp/ssh connections:

#BOF
# /home/myuser/.ssh/config

# Host parameter is any arbitrary string.
# sftp remoteuserid at first.site.com =Host site1
    HostName               first.site.com
    User                   remoteuserid
    IdentityFile           /home/myuser/.ssh/id_rsa

# sftp otheruserid at second.other.com =Host site2
    HostName               second.other.com
    User                   otheruserid
    IdentityFile           /home/myuser/.ssh/rsa_vendor2
#EOF

Then just run 'sftp site1' or 'sftp site2' to connect as
required.
