cwrsync not creating folders on server

[reggie3]

I've gotten the following gulp task to transfer files from a Windows 10 machine to a remote Linux server. However, files are being copied with a backslash "" vice forward slash "/" resulting in long file names like "js\myjs.js" instead of creating a folder called "js" with "myjs.js" in it. I haven't found an option or switch to fix the problem. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

gulp.task('deploy', function() {
return gulp.src('dist/*/')
.pipe(rsync({
options: {
chmod: 'ugo=rwX',
'r': true,
'v': true,
'delete': true,
'verbose': true,
'progress': true
},
username: "user",
password: "pass",
hostname: 'host.com',
destination: '~/test/',
recursive: true,
root: "dist/"
}));
});

@reggie3 I've got the same problem and have battling with all day.

In gulp-rsync index.js change:

      source: sources.map(function(source) {
        return path.relative(cwd, source.path) || '.';
      }),

to:

      source: sources.map(function(source) {
        var file_path = (path.relative(cwd, source.path) || '.').replace( /\\/g, '/')
        // console.log( 'gulp-rsync source:', source.path, ', ret: ', file_path );
        return file_path
      }),

path.relative() is the culprit.

There may be a better solution and I'll continue looking at it tomorrow,

@reggie3 The fork mentioned #28 resolves this issue. However the same dev has created rsync-slim https://github.com/stcruy/rsync-slim which I suggest folks use.
