Private key forwarding to winscp isn't working

See original GitHub issue

Describe the problem: The private key forwarding to winscp added in #7143 doesn’t work for me. Clicking Launch WinSCP simply doesn’t do anything. There is also nothing in the logs. It should be noted that I got both my private key and the corresponding passphrase in the vault. I also made sure to add winscp to path because I thought it might not be able to execute the command.

@kyuuaria Hey, sorry mate, didn’t have time to get into it yet between work and personal life. Since that’s still a pressing issue for you and the path forward seems clear I’ll give a try next week and hopefully will have something to share then!

Okay, that might explain it, even though the forge claims to support it (ED25519) something must be failing. I will dig deeper in the evening!
