jsch ssh connection can't get authorized_keys

i'm trying to make a connection via ssh from windows to a unix server my goal to have it in my java app so i cann run command without inputting passwords on each connect

right now i'm trying to understand what i'm doing wrong with keys

I generated a key in Tectia and uploaded it to server; I can see it in .ssh as 2798 Apr 17 10:56 authorized_keys

my connection setup looks like this 

...
JSch jsch = new JSch();
jsch.setKnownHosts("~/.ssh/know_hosts");
jsch.addIdentity("~/.ssh/authorized_keys");

System.out.println("identity added ");
Session session=jsch.getSession(user, host, 22);
session.setConfig("PreferredAuthentications", "publickey");
System.out.println("session created.");

session.connect();
System.out.println("Connected");
....

and as a result of this i'm getting this error

com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\User\ .ssh\authorized_keys (The system cannot find the path specified)

it's looking for the key on my local computer and not connecting to the server

what am I going wrong with these keys ?

The argument to addIdentity is a local path to your private key.

Instead, you are giving it a path to a file that:

  1. Would contain a public key;
  2. Does not exit locally anyway.
