I am trying to copy my pb_data folder to my local machine, but can’t seem to setup ssh.
I’m trying to follow the steps listed here: Host for free on Fly.io · pocketbase/pocketbase · Discussion #537 · GitHub
My problem is that when I flyctl ssh issue --agent I get Error slug argument must be specified when not running interactively
When proceeding with the proxy and scp anyway I get Permission denied (publickey)
It would be helpful to know what operating system you are using.
I’ve seen similar errors reported on windows, and to date I can’t reproduce the error with either Command Prompt or Powershell, using either Windows Console Host or Windows Terminal.
Perhaps try the terminal in VS Code? See When I run fly launch to my project I get the following error: Error name argument or flag must be specified when not running interactively - #9 by lovelidevs
I’m running Windows 10 Pro 21H2.
I tried with powershell through VSCode but the problem persists.
I also made sure ssh-agent is running via
Get-Service -Name ssh-agent
status is running
I found the following method which allows for transfer of single files at a time:
From the local directory containing the fly.toml file:
fly ssh sftp shell
This will start an interactive session where you can navigate, push and pull files within the remote machine.
get FILENAME
will download a file into your current directory.
It would be nice to have a recursive option to download a folder with all its files more easily though…
To replace a file, if the PUT command does not overwrite, you can first fly ssh console, then rm FILENAME to remove the file. Then add the new file via fly ssh sftp shell again.
