Creating private password for FTP login about middleman-deploy HOT 7 CLOSED

Both of these worked for me in my tests.

Add one of these methods to config.rb:

Method 1:

file = File.open("password", "r")
password = file.read
file.close

Method 2:

password = ENV["PASSWORD"]

plus this:

activate :deploy do |deploy|
  deploy.method = :ftp
  deploy.host = "ftp.example.mil"
  deploy.user = "tvaughan"
  deploy.password = password
  deploy.path = "/var/www"
end

For Method 1 run:

echo -n gr8passwd > password
middleman deploy

For Method 2 run:

PASSWORD=gr8passwd middleman deploy

Please let me know if either of these is acceptable to you. Thanks.

Looks good to me, I'll give it a shot when I get home and let you know how it goes.

Thats rad your from Pucon! I was literally just there two weeks ago. I backpacked the Villarrica traverse with my girlfriend, it was my favorite place in all of South America.

Thanks for the advice!

That's crazy. What a small world. Glad you enjoyed it!

Did you make it to Torres del Paine? My wife and I did the W last year. We were just talking today about going back to do the O so we can check out the backside.

Implemented Method 2 this morning, worked like a charm. Thanks for that.

We didn't get down to Torres del Paine, but we were in that area (we spent a week camping in El Chalten, which is absolutely amazing). I really liked the Villarrica traverse because it was so empty. We saw one person in five days of backpacking, and it felt like we were in the absolute middle of nowhere. Anyhow, you guys are probably starting to gear up for the winter season, which looks like it is just as amazing out there. Let me know if you are ever in San Francisco, I would love to host you and your wife. Cheers.

Awesome! You definitely hit it at the right time; right after everyone returned to Santiago and the weather is still nice. Good to know that you enjoyed it.

I have family in SF. I just may take you up on that offer some day.

Best.

If on a mac, another possibility is to keep the password in the keychain.

Retrieve like this:

deploy.password = `security 2>&1 >/dev/null find-generic-password -ga account_name_for_password |ruby -e 'print $1 if STDIN.gets =~ /^password: "(.*)"$/'`

(Replace account_name_for_password with the account name for your password. )

A dialog will ask if you allow the access.

Oooh, I like this. I'll give it a try later tonight. Thanks for the writeup
Tommy!
