Description

I have to provide the wagon-ssh dependency to the maven-site-plugin in order to upload the site via scp. Authentication for the scp is done via an SSH key.

Version 2.5 works fine, but when I upgrade to version 2.6, I am now getting a Password prompt, and then a Connection Refused. (The Private Key should negate a password prompt.)

With version 2.6, I get BUILD FAILURE:

[INFO] --- maven-site-plugin:3.3:deploy (default-deploy) @ project ---
 Using private key: C:\Users\BuildAgent\.ssh\id_rsa
 Password for buildagent@mvnsitehost: scp://mvnsitehost/opt/maven/sites/project/3.4-SNAPSHOT/ - Session: Connection refused

With version 2.5, I get BUILD SUCCESS:

So, clearly the new behavior is the Connection Refused:

 Password for buildagent@mvnsitehost: scp://mvnsitehost/opt/maven/sites/project/3.4-SNAPSHOT/ - Session: Connection refused

Could version 2.6 have broken the private key logic?
