------ Deploying to sourceforge.net ------ Barrie Treloar ------ 2009-03-08 ------ Deploying to sourceforge.net This {{{http://sourceforge.net/community/forum/topic.php?id=3518&page}sf.net announcement}} indicates that the new hostname for project web file management has changed. The new hostname for file management is: <<>> and the new accepted methods are: SFTP, SCP, rsync over SSH. Unfortunately <<>> also has a restricted shell environment and does not allow remote commands to be executed. In addition shell access to <<>> now requires the creation of a shell before it can be accessed. Both of these mean that if you attempt to deploy your site without following these steps you will get an error. * Quick Start * Create a shell on <<>> with your username and project group --- ssh -t ,@shell.sf.net create --- * Use <<>> (instead of <<>>) in you site URL --- ... ... your_project.sf.net scp://shell.sourceforge.net/home/groups/y/yo/your_project/htdocs --- * Run <<>> * Verify that you have a working web site by opening a browser to <<>> [] * Detailed Instructions with Examples The following examples will use the <<>> project and the user <<>>.

You don't have an active shell at this time. For basic file transfers and management, use web.sourceforge.net -- it allows rsync, sftp, and scp access. If you would like to create a shell, use ssh to login using a USER,PROJECT username with the "create" command. If you tell ssh to allocate a tty (e.g. using -t), an interactive shell will be opened when the create is done. Otherwise, the create command will exit when the shell becomes ready for use. An example create that enters the shell when ready: ssh -t USER,PROJECT@shell.sourceforge.net create Connection to shell.sf.net closed. +---+
