I've been struggling with a drush-related issue for awhile now and have more 'evidence' to write about. So here's what's going on: I'm trying to drush INTO two different servers (one on bluehost, another on rochen) and I get the same errors when I use my local drush on my computer to drush into either server. The error is Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).
I get this error trying to drush @rochen status OR drush @bluehost status (the @name being the name of my alias files rochen.aliases.drushrc.php and bluehost.aliases.drushrc.php respectively.
I have installed drush on both servers already and can do drush commands on both using putty terminal.
I can drush just fine into Pantheon and any local sites I setup. I can also SSH into both rochen and bluehost just fine using Putty (I'm on Windows).
If I use drush --root=/home/username/public_html --uri=websiteurl status it returns results...which is weird because I thought that command was supposed to be the same as doing drush @alias status which gives the error.
So I think maybe I have something wrong with my alias. See my alias file (I've confirmed the root is OK with my sysadmin):
<?php
$aliases['bluehost'] = array(
'root' => '/home/username/public_html',
'uri' => 'http://url.com',
'remote-host' => 'url.com',
'remote-user' => 'username',
);
// the following line is something I've tried to add in hopes it would help but it doesnt
//$options['ssh-options'] = '-o PasswordAuthentication=no -i C:/keys/ppkfile.ppk';
SOLUTION:
I fixed the permission denied error, the stdin: not a tty error, AND the bash: drush: command not found errors all in one fell swoop. See here: http://learningwithsage.com/wp/?p=236.
