file\_transfer\_client
======================

Avocado-VT currently allows for two options: 'scp' or 'rss'.

For Linux VMs, we default to SSH:

    variants:
        - @Linux:
            file_transfer_client = scp

And for Microsoft Windows VMs we default to rss:

::

    variants:
        - @Windows:
            file_transfer_client = rss
