Doesn't work on windows error code 1

[c-hris]

My configuration file is:
var gulp = require('gulp');
rsync = require('gulp-rsync');
gulp.task('rsync', function() {
return gulp.src('_site/**')
.pipe(rsync({
root: '_site',
hostname: 'ftp.domain.com',
username: '[email protected]',
destination: 'public_html',
incremental: true,
recursive: true,
compress: true,
times: true,
progress: true,
exclude: []
}));
});

And this is when I run the task:
[21:51:54] Starting 'rsync'...
[21:51:57] gulp-rsync: Starting rsync to [email protected]@ftp.web.com:/pub lic_html...

Any suggestions?

Do you have rsync installed? It is not a native windows command.

You can use Cygwin to get unix commands for windows. Dont forget to update your PATH.
