ssh file access is broken when no password is required

[cjcollier]

see patch

password is optional when connection_type is ssh

In its current state, the SSH connection type requires a password, despite the following message to the user:

<div><?php _e('Enter the location on the server where the keys are located. If a passphrase is needed, enter that in the password field above.') ?></div>

The patch I've attached removes the requirement for a password when the connection type is SSH.

This has been fixed in 2.8 already, If you use a Key file, then both the username and password will be optional.
