scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa target/Sri-Ram-Mega-Store-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar user@$EC2_HOST:/Sri-Ram-Mega-Store-new.jar

Hi Ritesh and welcome to the community!

If I understand correctly, you are using this scp command in your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file in Pipelines, and you get the error that the key is in an invalid format.

I would like to ask a few questions so I can better help you:

1. Does this Pipelines step with the scp command run on Atlassian's infrastructure, or with one of our self-hosted runners?
   
   
2. If it is running with a self-hosted runner, which type of runner are you using? Linux Docker (x86_64), Linux Docker (arm 64), Windows, MacOS, or Linux Shell runner?
   
   
3. How did you configure the SSH keys for this Pipelines step?
   
   • Did you do this from Repository settings > SSH keys? If so, did you generate a new SSH key pair from this page, or did you add your own?
   • Did you configure the private SSH key as a variable and then created the id_rsa file from this variable?
   • Or did you do something different?

Kind regards,
Theodora
