can't connect from dolphin through sftp

I'm trying to set a network folder but have some issues with dolphin. Command line works fine. I use auth keys and a custom port. I added the connection details to dolphin's Network Folder Wizard and it just fails as soon as I hit Save&Connect.
Where does dolphin look for the auth key for ssh? How could I debug the issue with dolphin?

edit:
I'm using sftp://user@server:port/home/user and this seems to be working in nautilus in Ubuntu. In dolphin I get a "Couldn't apply options" error.

I reinstalled everything and seems to work fine now. Weird. So this is solved.

Re: can't connect from dolphin through sftp

I finally figured out why it didn't work. So for anyone else that might have this issue, I modified /etc/ssh/ssh_config (client not daemon) and I used the following option:

UserKnownHostsFile ~/.ssh/known_hosts.d/%k

With this option dolphin can't connect to the shared storage (sftp/fish). After I removed this option (which is the default) now mounting works fine.
So knetattach or other involved process needs to use the known_hosts file, not known_hosts.d directory.
