Copy Files with SCP Using Maven

You can use Maven AntRun Plugin and Ant SCP task in order to transfer files with SCP:

...
  <build>
    ...
    <plugins>
    ...
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <tasks>
            <scp todir="${scp.user}:${scp.password}@${scp.host}:/${scp.dirCopyTo}" trust="true" failonerror="false">
              <fileset dir="${bundle.dir}" />
            </scp>
          </tasks>
        </configuration>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>ant</groupId>
            <artifactId>ant-jsch</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.5</version>
          </dependency>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>com.jcraft</groupId>
            <artifactId>jsch</artifactId>
            <version>0.1.42</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
...

Alternatively, you can use Ant sshexec command in order to do additional stuff through SSH, like create or remove folders.
