New description:

 Currently ssh keys with passphareses raise following exception:
 {{{twisted.conch.ssh.keys.EncryptedKeyError: encrypted key with no
 passphrase}}}

 Twisted has
 [http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/browser/trunk/twisted/conch/ssh/keys.py
 support for passphrases] but currently there is no way in Tahoe-LAFS to
 acquire the passphrase from user.

 The solution for now is just to generate keys without a passphrase~~, even
 though source:docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.txt suggests otherwise~~.
