[M2] problems with site:deploy and PuTTy

["McGarr, Joseph M" <jm...@nsf.gov>]

I am having trouble getting Maven's site:deploy to properly utilize
PuTTy's plink.  I am not sure what is going on, but it seems to use pscp
just fine, but then it fails while executing the following command:

 

Executing command: ssh -o "BatchMode yes" ...

 

This fails because I do not have any ssh executable available...gives me
this error message:

 

'ssh' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

 

Shouldn't the site plugin recognize that in my settings.xml server
configuration, I have declared that it uses plink?  It should be trying
to call plink and not ssh.  Here is an excerpt from my settings.xml:

 

      <configuration>

        <sshExecutable>plink</sshExecutable>

        <scpExecutable>pscp</scpExecutable>

      </configuration>

 

Is there a fix for this or is this a bug in the site plugin?
