How to deploy over SCP with private key using Maven

Question

Using Maven on windows, transfer over SCP, using a private key. It seems to be a very simple and documented process. But it didn\'t work for me.

In the settings.xml

Answer 1

Read/Write Privileges should be set correctly

# Current directory should not be writable by others (and preferably not by group either):
chmod o-w ~

chmod 700 ~/.ssh
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

# Only in case id_rsa.pub exists (644 also ok):
chmod 640 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
chmod 640 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

Ownership should be set correctly

Set to current user and default group. By omitting the group after the colon, you make sure the group is reset to the default for that user.

chown ${USER}: ~
chown -R ${USER}: ~/.ssh
