scp shell integration passwords

[ghostwheel]

I just started using shell integration for a remote host. I managed to get it working!

The remote host requires two-factor authentication, so when I log in, I have to provide a token. To do that just once per session, I use controlmaster in .ssh/config. This allows me to log in with ssh once, and after that, ssh and scp do not require password or token.

But, when I try to upload or download a file I have to supply the passphrase for the private key twice, and then a new token once. 

Can scp from iTerm2 somehow use the controlmaster option that the ssh/scp command line uses?

No, unfortunately it doesn’t support that. A better option will be coming in 3.5 in the form of ssh integration which will use openssh and provide a side channel for file transfer without needing to reconnect.
