Using sftp private and public key for authentication

I'm trying to set authentication for sftp server using private and public key pair.

I have set an sftp server with Bitvise SSH Server on a local machine. I generated private and public keys with SSH Server. I have set the private key on the host key section of SSH Server, and have created a virtual account and set the public key to that account.

I want to create a c# application with SharpSSH to connect to the sftp server.

But which key should I put in the c# code? the private or the public key?

Thanks

the public host key (in order to ensure that you are connecting to the right server) and the private user key (in order to authenticate the user).
