### Sync Problems using SSH remote in OSX - Im trying to work out SSH remotes by trying to sync up repos on my home network, following the walkthrough. - I have two machines (mini and mbp ) running OSX Mavericks, with RLogin enabled for all users to enable ssh. - I can SSH into the remote machine and see *git-annex-shell*, which seems to have ok permissions ``` johns-mbp:annex johnmccallum$ ssh john@johns-mini-5.home Last login: Sun Apr 12 07:31:07 2015 from johns-mbp.home johns-mini-5:~ john$ which git-annex-shell /usr/local/bin/git-annex-shell johns-mini-5:~ john$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/git-annex-shell -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 john admin 668 12 Apr 07:03 /usr/local/bin/git-annex-shell ``` - Previously on mini I created and populated a repo ``` 494 mkdir annex 495 cd annex 496 git init 497 git annex init 498 cp ~/Pictures/*.png . 499 git annex add . 500 git commit -a -m 'added png' ``` - I can git clone this repo to MBP by SSH ``` johns-mbp:~ johnmccallum$ git clone ssh://john@johns-mini-5.home/Users/john/annex ~/annex Cloning into '/Users/johnmccallum/annex'... remote: Counting objects: 24, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (19/19), done. remote: Total 24 (delta 3), reused 0 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (24/24), done.

Please make sure that git-annex-shell is available in PATH when you ssh into the remote. Once you have fixed the git-annex installation, run: git config remote.origin.annex-ignore false (not available) Try making some of these repositories available: 129620b2-91b1-4541-b7b1-9e5a9d31d5d3 -- john@johns-mini-5.home:~/annex failed git-annex: get: 1 failed ``` This is not the case on the remote host when I SSH in as the same user ``` johns-mini-5:~ john$ which git-annex-shell /usr/local/bin/git-annex-shell ``` The only thread on this seems to be https://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/not_finding_git-annex-shell_on_remote/ and Im at a loss to understand it. Any suggestions would be welcome
