Can we use ed25519 keys for user authentication with WingFTP?

In tests I can only get this to work with rsa keys and on trying to use ed25519 I'm getting rejected in the server side log.

OK, ed25519 key can be used for SSH host key only, not for SSH public key authentication.

WingFTP only supports RSA key for SSH public key authentication: viewtopic.php?t=502
