Just copying the example and trying to run it, it only works if I add any 'sh' command before sshget, or if the local file is been written in the '/tmp' directory on the local Jenkins server.

This code :

 
output this error :

BUT, if before sshget I add  sh 'echo' (or any other sh command), or set the destination to /tmp/local.sh    it work successfully.
 
I've already tried to set all the directory permissions to full for others, but the behavior is the same, also tried to specify the absolute path instead of relative but same issue except for the /tmp one.
 
Tested on 3 different Plugin versions on 3 different Jenkins version running on Ubuntu and Centos linux.
 
Any clue?
