Thanks ant, but it's the p.a.o authentication for logging in to copy
the artifacts thats failing. I tried your suggestion with both
configurations of the settings .xml file (see below) but as I guessed,
it didn't affect the p.a.o authentication
<server>
<id>me.people</id>
<username>kelvingoodson</username>
<privateKey>c:\Dev\sshKeyForPAO.ppk</privateKey>
<passphrase>**deleted**</passphrase>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
</server>
<server>
<id>me.people2</id>
<username>kelvingoodson</username>
<password>**deleted*</password>
<directoryPermissions>775</directoryPermissions>
<filePermissions>664</filePermissions>
</server>
