Issue

reporter-upload requires password for secure copy protocol (SCP) despite man page indicating password is optional.

Per man reporter-uploader

       -u URL
           The URL where tarball should be uploaded. URL should have form
           protocol://[user[:pass]@]host/dir/[file.tar.gz] where protocol can be http(s),
           ftp, scp, or file. File protocol can’t have user and host parts:
           file.tar.gz[1]. If URL ends with a slash, the archive name will be generated
           and appended to URL; otherwise, URL will be used as full file name.

The following error message may also be seen when attempting to run with password specified:

reporter-upload: misc.c:39: px_malloc0: Assertion `mem != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted
