Putty maven connection

Question

I'm having problems using putty with the mvn-deploy-plugin plugin.

Running: mvn deploy

This is what my settings.xml looks like:

<server> <id>website</id> <username>user</username> <!--<privateKey>c:\putty\id_rsa</privateKey> --> <configuration> <sshExecutable>c:\putty\plink</sshExecutable> <scpExecutable>c:\putty\pscp</scpExecutable> </configuration> </server> 

It always discards the same message, which does not lead to great results on Google. It calls the website and then executes the scp command.

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR

[INFO] Error retrieving previous build number for the artifact 'com.mycompany.myproject: project: war': repository metadata for: 'snapshot com.mycomany.myproject: project: 2.3-SNAPSHOT' could not be retrieved from the repository: snapshots.liege from -for an error: when setting up the station wagon for the "website": it is impossible to use the configuration of the car.

 Cannot find setter nor field in org.apache.maven.wagon.providers.ssh.jsch.ScpWagon for 'sshExecutable' 

I tried adding exe (which makes more sense to me), and that doesn't make any difference.

Answer 1

What protocol are you using for the URL under the <distributionManagement> element? If you use scp:// , you need to use scpexe:// instead.
