* source - scp file list (**required**)
* rm - remove target folder before upload data, default is `false`
* strip_components - remove the specified number of leading path elements.
* overwrite - use `--overwrite` flag with tar, overwrite existing files when extracting
* tar_tmp_path - temporary path for tar file on the dest host
* tar_exec - path to tar executable on the dest host. default is `tar`
* tar_dereference - use `--dereference` flag with tar, follow symlinks; archive and dump the files they point to

## Setting up a SSH Key
Make sure to follow the below steps while creating SSH Keys and using them.
The best practice is create the SSH Keys on local machine not remote machine.
Login with username specified in Github Secrets. Generate a RSA Key-Pair:

**A note** from one of our readers: Depending on your version of SSH you might also have to do the following changes:
* Put the public key in `.ssh/authorized_keys2`
* Change the permissions of `.ssh` to 700
* Change the permissions of `.ssh/authorized_keys2` to 640
- Put the public key in `.ssh/authorized_keys2`
