Deprec and Net-sftp

Rails Deployment
1

Hi my name’s Paul,

I’m trying to deploy from a windows xp machine, to an ubuntu server I
own. I have tried deprec, but am having issues with net sftp
connecting. I can connect automatically on putty, but net-sftp is
failing to “put”. I am starting to gather that this is a fairly common
problem, but can’t find a solution. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul.

I have had good results using FileZilla (look on sourceforge) for
secure transfers from/to windows and a linus host.

I just worked this out!

There’s a bug in the su_put code that checks for the /tmp directory on
the local machine instead of the remote machine and then builds an
invalid remote file name if it can’t find it. The easy fix is to put a
directory called tmp in the root of the current drive on Windows.

This works on Unix clients because they all have /tmp, so the test
passes
