Question

I’m trying to set up capistrano for pushing my project, using git as VCS.

I’m running capistrano on a win7 machine, and want to push on my ubuntu 64bit EC2, here is what capistrano says: http://pastebin.com/FRyzYFbE

My local SSH Client is Putty, and works pretty fine, for my deploy.rb i’ve set something like: http://pastebin.com/UubfdDYm

Does anyone know what’s going on there?

I don’t have Win7, but I can tell you what worked for me on winXP. I added an SSH config file to %USER_HOME%/.ssh/config

The contents of that file look like this:

Host dev
  User ubuntu
  Hostname example.com
  IdentityFile path/relative/to/user_home_ssh/mykey.ppk

The Host line can be the actual host or a nickname that you will use. Here, I used a short nickname. This should match the IP or hostname you use in your capistrano config.

The User should be the user you set in your capistrano config (ubunto in your case).

The Hostname is the real hostname or IP of the server you will access. The IdentityFile is a path relative to your USER_HOME/.ssh directory.
