Support private key file for SSH authentication? #132

Closed DavidA2014 closed 6 years ago

DavidA2014 commented 6 years ago

When using SFTP, I would like to be able to specify a private key file for SSH authentication, rather than use a password. Does Deploy support private key files? (I couldn't find it in the documentation).

Yes, sftp supports things like privateKey property.

Thanks, privateKey worked for me.

Would you expect to be able to use an environment variable in the private key path?

"privateKey": "/%HOMEPATH%/Documents/ssh_keys/pc_priv.ppk"

That gives an error for me:

[FAILED: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\%HOMEPATH%\Documents\ssh_keys\pc_priv.ppk']

Finished with errors!

Placeholders work in another way.

In your case, you have to use homeDir, which is pre-defined:

  "privateKey": "${homeDir}/Documents/ssh_keys/pc_priv.ppk"

You also can import environment variables and use your HOMEPATH, if it is available for the process of your editor:

  "privateKey": "${HOMEPATH}/Documents/ssh_keys/pc_priv.ppk"

Thank you, that works fine.
