Use this page to configure the paths to the rsync and ssh executables, which are used for providing Rsync support for downloading and uploading files to an SFTP server.

  • On macOS and Linux, the tools are preinstalled and the paths are filled automatically.

  • On Windows, you need to manually install Cygwin with the rsync and openssh packages first. The tools' executables are commonly located in the <Cygwin installation>\bin folder.

note

Rsync is only used for the manually triggered upload and download operations. All other deployment-related operations such as accessing files on a remote host, comparing deployed files and folders with their local versions, auto-uploading, and so on, are performed via regular SFTP means.
