ssh-backend w/ rsync or scp?

[Jay Christopherson]

Is there any way to use the ssh-backend with scp or rsync-over-ssh to copy files around?

[Jeff Mitchell]

Hi Jay,

Sure. You can simply use the OTP or key in place of your other
credentials when connecting via scp or rsync.

Best,
Jeff

Thanks Jeff - I had gotten used to using Vault and sshpass via the Vault ssh command (e.g. "vault ssh ...") and so I was thinking there was/should be a "vault scp" command or something.  It never occurred to me, for some reason, to do otherwise.  Sorry for the hassle.

Hi Jay,

No problem! It might be useful to allow a flag to indicate which
binary to run (similar to -e for rsync). But it's a bit more work than
you might expect, due to different ways of specifying options. Maybe
it could be supported in a sort of bare-bones way, and anything more
advanced would require the user to manage it on their own.
