Xenial ubuntu user needs known password about deploy-pub HOT 3 CLOSED

If you're using Vagrant, vagrant ssh-config is what you should be using. Just authenticate exactly as the output of that command describes. I've found an example here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12938524. scp -F can read that format (not sure from STDIN). You could also use paramiko.ssh.SSHConfig but I don't know if paramiko comes with support for file transfer.

Thanks sevein! Looks like I'll have to add another option (and some documentation) to the acceptance tests (in particular, scp_server_file_to_local of archivematicaselenium.py) so that scp-requiring tests can use the path to a specified identity file instead of a password. I'll close the issue here and open a new one in the acceptance tests repo, assigned to me.

Cool. I would also try to consider scp just another file transport because it's likely that not all the environments are going to provide scp, e.g. in RDSS, scp is not going to be a thing at all. The files you're trying to access may be available as some kind of network share (perhaps nfs or some transparent mount point in the filesystem).
