Research direction
Start by locating the upload! and as entry points and how they invoke scp. Check how the current-user switch is represented, then determine whether the upload can be staged in /tmp and moved into place with the switched privileges. Done means upload! succeeds inside an as "root" block without breaking its existing behavior.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The following will usually fail:
task :foo do
on roles(:web) do
as "root" do
upload! "/tmp/foo", "/var/bar/cuux"
end
end
end
Since scp will not su to root. Would you accept a PR that allows upload! to upload to /tmp and then mv the file into place, if the current user has been switched?
