I cannot find a scp or sftp library for go. go.crypto/ssh doesn't implement either. In lieu of creating an scp or sftp library, I am punting and simpy executing scp (via the exec package). However, this is a bit ugly (considering we're using go.crypto/ssh sessions for everything else), and it means that geto can't support password authentication. Issue #1 has been created to track this issue.

Unfortunately, there does not appear to be an sftp or scp library in Go. code.google.com/p/go.crypto/ssh can run remote commands and return the the stdout and stderr, which geto uses for other functions. code.google.com/p/go.crypto/ssh might be able to be extended for scp and/or sftp, but in lieu of having such functionality readily available, geto will, for now, just run a separate command-line scp process in lib/ssh/ssh.go:Scp(). This is unfortunate because we use password authentication if the user was wanting to run in that mode. The user will have to have public key authorization working in their environment.
