Plugin Clone Error - Connection unexpectedly closed / unexplained error (code 255)

[gbrn]

@DanielnetoDotCom Danny, I created a new installation of AVIDEO to run tests and isolate problems. I'm trying to clone but it's showing the following error:

Clone: Clone Start

Clone: Good start! the server has answered

I saw this same issue in #3030, but I couldn't understand the solution.

1. based on your command you are missing the cloneSiteSSHUser and cloneSiteSSHIP
2. check /var/www/html/AVideo/videos/cache/clones/client.log
3. Execute the code below manually, make sure you replace {cloneSiteSSHUser} and {cloneSiteSSHIP}

sshpass -p '{password}' rsync -av -e 'ssh -p 22 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no' --exclude '*.php' --exclude 'cache' --exclude '*.sql' --exclude '*.log' {cloneSiteSSHUser}@{cloneSiteSSHIP}:/var/www/html/AVideo/videos/ /var/www/html/AVideo/videos/ --log-file='/var/www/html/AVideo/videos/cache/clones/client.log'

check /var/www/html/AVideo/videos/cache/clones/client.log

There is no CLONES directory within the CACHE directory and the LOG client was not generated. When is this directory created? I have to create?

In the directory /var/www/html/AVideo/videos/clones there are several MYSQL Dumps that have not been deleted. But it doesn't have any LOG file.

My server is only accessed using the public key via SSH. Does this command accept this?

I also verify that the aforementioned client.log file is not present on any of the servers.

rsync: [client] failed to open log-file /var/www/html/AVideo/videos/cache/clones/client.log: No such file or directory (2)
Ignoring "log file" setting.

[DanielnetoDotCom]

this plugin is designed to work with user and password

maybe there is another way to do it. but I am not sure

@DanielnetoDotCom There is a safer way to connect with rsync. I read in several places that connecting via publickey is the best and safest practice for connecting between servers. I think it's important to evolve this Plugin Clone tool.
