We do something similar with sftp (zc.buildoutsftp).  To publish eggs,
we just use scp.
The advantage of this is that it leverages ssh infrastructure, so *no*
additional password management is needed.  This is wildly better, IMO,
than keeping passwords in clear text in your buildout configuration or
in a dot file.
