Re: [dash-dev] FTP/SCP Ant Task for Promotion

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, using the keyfile attribute of the scp task, hudsonBuild could, in 
theory, use my key to push a file into download.eclipse.org...

https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cbi-admin/8/console

However:

com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: 
/home/data/users/nickb/.ssh/id_rsa (Permission denied)

But it works locally thus:

$ /shared/common/apache-ant-1.7.1/bin/ant -file testscp.xml main -lib 
/home/data/users/nickb/.ant/lib
Buildfile: testscp.xml

main:
      [scp] Connecting to build.eclipse.org:22
      [scp] done.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 3 seconds

So the next problem is simply where to put my private key so that Hudson 
can see it, but others cannot.

Denis, where might such a location be?
