permission denied on ed25519 key file

[mptr]

I am getting permission denied error messages when using an ed25519 key file.
It Works when using v0.1.4 but not on master

Error Message:

Same problem

[appleboy]

I will take it.

[git-shogg]

Same problem here. I am running two key deployment steps.

1. Utilizing the appleboy/ssh-action@master. To run some set-up commands on my host.
2. Utilizing the appleboy/scp-action@master. To move some files onto my host.

Strangely the failure is not consistent. I have made no changes at all and have had two different outcomes when re-running my GitHub action. The first time it failed on the ssh-action (handshake failed) and the second time it it failed on the scp-action (handshake failed). At present the host is running Ubuntu 23.10.

@mptr and @azat-io can you share which distribution and version are you running (might help @appleboy troubleshoot)?

[azat-io]

@git-shogg Ubuntu v22.04.3
