[Bug 3201] New: provide an option to use sftp instead of ssh 'exec sh -c …' for installing ssh-keys via ssh-copy-id
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3201

Bug ID: 3201
Summary: provide an option to use sftp instead of ssh 'exec sh
-c …' for installing ssh-keys via ssh-copy-id
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: -current
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: ssh-copy-id
Assignee: unassigned-bugs@mindrot.org
Reporter: blaimi@blaimi.de

currently the command ssh-copy-id requires shell-access on the
server-side.

To allow the usage of ssh-copy-id on systems where shell-access is not
allowed like on some commercial storage providers (e.g. hetzner
storage-box), the modification of authorized_keys could be done through
downloading, modifying and uploading instead of executing a command on
the server-side.

If nothing prevents this, we could provide some developer-resources to
achieve this with an optional flag like '--use-sftp' or '-s'.
