How to use bash process substitution for a sftp private key file?
With my team, we need to share a few private keys and we store them in a pass repository.
So instead of extracting the key and storing it in cleartext on the filesystem, I am looking for a way to only keep the decrypted version shortly in memory:
$ sftp -i <(pass foo) user@host
Warning: Identity file /dev/fd/63 not accessible: No such file or directory.
Any idea why sftp is unable to read the temporary file descriptor? How to fix it?
