Windows Users

SSH, SCP, SFTP

Deploying your application from your Windows workstation to your PLANET ARGON hosting account requires that you use the SSH protocol. Here are two suggested programs to use for this purpose.

PuTTY is an open source SSH client for Win32.
WinSCP is an open source SFTP & SCP client for Win32.

Another approach to the Win32 SFTP is FileZilla (set to SFTP using SSH2) I use it regularly. It works great – george53

This is often overlooked. If you open up public/dispatch.cgi and see that the path to the Ruby executable is c:/ruby/bin/ruby, you should note that this path does not exist in Unix. To change this and any other files that point to the Ruby executable, run the following command from the root directory of your Rails application:

ruby -i.bak -pe 'gsub!("#!c:/ruby/bin/ruby",
        "#!/usr/bin/ruby")'
         public/dispatch.* script/*

and as a one-liner:

ruby -i.bak -pe 'gsub!("#!c:/ruby/bin/ruby","#!/usr/bin/ruby")' public/dispatch.* script/*
