Maven Wagon SCP is not able to establish a connection

Question

I am trying to copy resources to another location. I am using maven wagon-ssh plugin to do this. It works fine locally, I am having issues when using Hudson/Jenkins.

Answer 1

maven apparently requires a ssh-rsa entry in the known_hosts file for the jenkins user. You can add the ssh-rsa entry to the file by issuing:

ssh-keyscan -t rsa YOUR_REMOTE_HOSTNAME >> ~jenkins/.ssh/known_hosts

Instead, you might be able to add the following to the ~jenkins/.ssh/config. See: How to Avoid Maven builds stall on ssh host authenticity problem?
