ssh and sftp on the i

so i have userA and i want that user to be able to own multiple ssh
keys in his /home/userA/.ssh key directory.

A different key for different remote servers. So to accomplish that i
simply generate the keys and then rename the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub to
what is descriptive of the remote server the key is for.

problem is when the sftp runs, it looks specifically for id_rsa and if
not found chokes.

How do you guys manage this?

TIA
