Description

after I had again and again problems deploying on remote repositories on linux and after I colleague of mine also struggled with this, I did some testing. the tests I made on two machines and both produces the same results. I used both scp and scpexe as well login and public key authentication. this gives already quite a matrix. than I discovered that the behaviour is different if the private key has a passphrase or not. so I also include these two cases.

the whole test just deploys a pom artifact on localhost in the tmp directory.

so here are the results and some conclusions. the pom.xml and settings.xml I used are attached.

conclusions
====================

• scpexe with username/password never worked

• scpexe with public key works only when the private key has no passphrase, though the passphrase is given in settings.xml

• login with username/password works only with scp against an ssh server with "PasswordAuthentication yes" configured

• public key with scp works with any configuration

• the two OS/java build/maven version machine behave exactly the same, so I
  conclude the problems lies somewhere within maven or the deploy plugin or
  the wagon ssh/sshexternal
