Difficulty Using rsync with hostgator

[William Kwan]

Hi,

I've been trying out static site generators for the first time and have successfully uploaded my website to my hostgator account using FTP. However, I'm having difficulty getting rsync to work.

I have tried the following in my nanoc.yaml file:

deploy:
  default:
    kind: rsync
    dst:  "username@ip_address:destination_path"

deploy:
  default:
    kind: rsync
    dst:  "username@website_address:destination_path"

However, both give me connection timeouts when I do "nanoc deploy --target default". I have enabled ssh on my hostgator account and have been able to connect by doing

ssh -p 2222 username@ip_adress

Am I making a simple mistake here?

Hi William,

You will need to specify the custom port number (2222) since it differs from the standard SSH port (22). Using rsync with a custom port is done by passing -e, e.g.

rsync -e "ssh -p 2222" …

The default rsync options used by nanoc’s rsync deployer are -glpPrtvz, so combining these two yields

deploy:

  default:

    kind: rsync

    dst:  "username@ip_address:destination_path"

    options: [ '-glpPrtvz', '-e "ssh -p 2222"' ]

I haven’t tested this myself, but it should work. Let me know if you have any issues.

Denis

On second thought, not entirely sure about this. Might need to split the 2nd array element so it gets passed correctly:

options: [ '-glpPrtvz', '-e', 'ssh -p 2222' ]

Perfect, the second one worked. Thanks!
