Initially, I had a problem with creating a site within FileZilla as I needed to use a private key to log in to the server, but there wasn't any option listed for logging in with a keyfile. As per this answer I was able to add a keyfile, but I noticed that the site that I created originally hadn't been saved. When I went to create another site, I figured that I just needed to use "normal" as the authentication type, but after selecting "ok", the type changed to "ask for password" for some reason.
The problem is that I don't have the keyfile associated with that site, even though the keyfile is stored in the system so when I log back in, it still asks me for my password. Given that I'm having to retroactively add the keyfile, how can I associate the keyfile with each site that I create?

Sorry, the previously mentioned is not true. I was too naive that things can work out together.
In FileZilla you have to add the key using, menu Edit → Preferences → SFTP, as you did. Or make sure the key is in your ssh-agent before starting FileZilla (ssh-add -l should list the key).
You account in Site Manager has to have the "Normal" logon type with an empty password and the key should be tried automatically.
