How to specify remote scp username

[wmccracken]

Hello,

I was wondering how to specify the username of the remote user when using scp with LocalhostKeyAuth. It appears to try and connect as the user that is running the program (USER from env). I tried modifying the url to scp://user@host:22/path/to/file but that does not work.

Thanks!

Credenitals are supplied as options, to use user/passwor use the following:

auth := scp.NewAuthProvider(nil, option.NewBasicAuth("myuser", "password"))
data, err := fs.DownloadWithURL(context.Background(), "scp://127.0.0.1/etc/hosts", auth)

How would this work with ssh keys instead of basic auth?

auth := scp.NewAuthProvider(nil, option.NewBasicAuth("myuser", "password"))
this should use only basic auth, thus no ssh keys are needed,

SSH auth supported methods:

auth := scp.NewAuthProvider(scp.NewKeyAuth(path.Join(os.Getenv("HOME"), ".ssh", "id_rsa"), "myuser", "optional_password_for_pem_file_leave_empty_otherwise"), nil)
data, err := fs.DownloadWithURL(context.Background(), "scp://127.0.0.1/etc/hosts", auth)
