Can not find ssh_id file using ~/ prefix

[lcrodriguez]

I have a problem with this because it's not reading the key file using ~/.ssh/ssh_id.pub shortcut.
It's says the file does not exist but of course it does. I have to put the real path to work, which is /User/leo/.ssh/ssh_id.pub but does it very specific to my machine.
Any workarounds to this? I want any user with permissions to be able to deploy to the server.

You could do it this way:

var fs = require('fs'),
      os = require('os'),
      path = require('path'),
      privKey = fs.readFileSync(path.join(os.homedir(), '.ssh/id_rsa'));

This library does not work directly with the private key path. It only works with the private key data. It's up to you to resolve and read the file. Therefore, I think this issue can be closed.

But I do think that this library should accept a privateKey path, which is what #68 is about. Then we could interpret the ~.
