This plugin allows you upload some build artifacts to the repository sites using SFTP (SSH) protocol. First you should define SCP hosts on hudson global config page. After that you can refer to this hosts using select list. See picture for global config:
After entering username/password automatic logon check is performed to see if you entered it correctly.
Root repository path must exist before you can reference it and should be accessible by user who do publish of files.
Then per job you can enable publishing of build artifacts:
source points to files which will be uploaded. You can use ant includes syntax, eg. folder/dist/*.jar. Path is constructed from workspace root.
Note that you cannot point files outside the workspace directory. For example providing: ../myfile.txt won't work...
destination points to destination folder on remote site. It will be created if doesn't exists and relative to root repository path.
You can define multiple blocks of source/destination pairs.

Near as I can tell, the destination only allows a relative directory path and there's no way to include a new file name. This would be a very useful feature to me since I am using this tool to copy an artifact that has a version number in the file name (for QA and production) as well as for my development automated testing tool that would like to be version agnostic (so I don't have to change the automated tester every time the artifact version changes).
I'm thinking something like the following, but I haven't grabbed the source yet to find out what might be involved in doing this.
artifact name = product-1.0.ear
source: workspace/build/artifacts/*
destination: qa/product/1.0/product-1.0.ear
destination: dev/product/trunk/product-trunk.ear
(where product-*.ear is the file name, not a folder)

Actually it never tries to run on a maven project, no log, no process.
Is there a solution for this?

I'd wish for an additional id field, so multiple destinations (i.e. repository paths and logins) can be set-up for the same host.
Right now, the hostname field serves two purposes:
1. Designate the FQDN (DSN-name or IP) of the target-host
2. State the name for a set of repository settings (i.e. port, repository path, user, password, etc.)
I have to admit that I don't use the SCP plugin to copy to a repository at all. Instead build artifacts are being copied to (Apache-) www-folders so they can then be downloaded and installed (.jads and .jars in my case). That's fine for a single target (i.e. repository), but appears to fail if there are numerous target directories (and each of them requiring a different login).
Should I a dare to open an enhancement issue?

Has anyone found a solution to this?

Previously, I had a shell script that would do this:
scp -r $localFile $username@$remoteHostIP:$remoteDestDir
This would do a full recursive copy from "localFile" (really, local-dir) to the remoteDestDir location. I don't know how to specify this with the SCP plugin. I guess I could go back to running the shell script, or have several SCP calls that copy each sub-directory over, but that seems weird.
Any idea how I might do this?
