Thanks a lot! You're always sure to get a prompt answer with such praise... ;-) > But I have a problem with one of the tips concerning site deployment > (Chapter 4, page 124) which recommends to use a public/private key scheme > for SSH when deploying the site.

Here's what I do: - I use putty and plink - Put them in your path - Create a session using putty and configure it to use SSH. Very important: Save the session using the server's name as the session's name. For example if you're connecting to people.apache.org, save the session as "people.apache.org". When you do this plink automatically finds the correct session configured for SSH - Then tell maven to use plink as the ssh client. Put the following in your properties: maven.ssh.executable = plink maven.scp.executable = pscp That's the easiest. Alternatively you could use pageant but using the session name's trick is neat I think. [snip] I'd love to put this as a mavenbook tip but it's a bit too unrelated to Maven I think... :-) Hope it helps, -Vincent ___________________________________________________________________________ Appel audio GRATUIT partout dans le monde avec le nouveau Yahoo!
