uploadArchives prompts for remote server acceptance

Continuing the discussion from Gradle prompts for password on uploadArchives via SCP using mavenDeployer:

@joel_binnquist

When configuring upload of jars to a repository using wagon and scp according to the user guide the build freezes. When I turn on the info logging it turns out that gradle prompts me for password multiple times. This makes it impossible to use gradle in a continuous build system like, e.g Jenkins. Is there a way to get around this?

I experienced a similar problem on a new build slave.
It is not the password it seems to be related to ssh client accepting the server and once it has been accepted it is happy. I actually had to run a commandline build on the slave and type yes to the prompt before subsequent builds would be happy.
