This plugin allows ikiwiki to push generated pages to another host by running a command such as rsync.

The command to run is specified by setting rsync_command in your setup file. The command will be run in your destdir, so something like this is a typical command:

rsync -qa --delete . user\@host:/path/to/docroot/ --exclude ikiwiki.cgi

If using rsync over ssh, you will need to enable noninteractive ssh login to the remote host. It's also a good idea to specify the exact command line to be permitted in the remote host's $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Be sure to exclude the ikiwiki.cgi wrapper from being sent to the remote host.
