scp command in command line step of the workflow

[#1]

Hi,

how to give scp command in command line step of workflow to copy a file from server.need to give username and password in the same command .

i have already tried the following commands :

scp ${file} USERNAME@pqrs.xyz.com desktop/xyz

scp ${file} USERNAME:'PASSWORD'@pqrs.xyz.com desktop/xyz

And getting the following exception :

org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Process exited with an error: 1(Exit value: 1)
    at org.apache.commons.exec.DefaultExecutor.executeInternal(DefaultExecutor.java:346)

There are various ways like Using public keys without a passphrase  OR sshpass Or Expect . Check with your network team they will help with exact command.

Refer scp documentation. The parameter supplier is wrong that the after hostname you will have colon with path and there is no space.
