Multiple SSH2 keys against a single user ?

Is it possible to assign multiple SSH2 public keys to a single user ? (eg by putting the key data for both keys into a single file)

The admin tool only has an option for a single file for the SSH2 key details, so is this 1 key or can it cope with more in a single file ?

reason for asking is that we have installed Wing FTP server to meet a requirement from a supplier who needs to send data via secure FTP. However, as it could be coming (potentially) from 2 different servers, they've got different SSH2 keys for each server.
They only want us to use 1 username for the FTP access, but need us to have both keys available against that user if at all possible.
Is this possible or will we need to have 2 different accounts, one for each of their connecting servers/SSH2 keys.


thanks in advance

No, it is impossible.
