SCP Publisher Alternative Port

[gareththered]

There isn't the equivalent of scp -P <port number> option on the SCP Publisher configuration page.

I'm currently using a General Purpose Custom Publisher to run a script which runs the scp command (with alt port) to push CRLs to a repository, which is running as a container. I can't listen on port 22 as that's used by the container host, so am using an alternative port. I was hoping the SCP Publisher would enable me to get rid of the scripts that the GP Custom Publisher runs, but without an option for an alternative port, I'm scuppered.

Could this option be added?

Hi Gareth, it would make perfect sense to have the port configurable in the UI. I'll put it on our backlog for EJBCA CE.

Thanks for the suggestion!

As a work around until this is configurable in the GUI you try setting the port in the ssh host configuration.
Edit/Create .ssh/config
Add the host and port e.g

Host scp.host
    Port 2222

That's interesting. I wasn't aware it was using the host's SSH. Good to know, and yes, a simple workaround.
