Problems using rsync in Leopard with SSH... seeking solution/alternative
Precursor: ...it may sound like I'm at least somewhat comfortable with Unix, but I'm far from it. Layman's terms would be greatly appreciated
Okay, so here's the situation. I created a website using iWeb, and I'm not using a .Mac account (you can sync website in one click if you do). Being without .Mac, this is the process I've been following to upload to my site:
Make change to website
Export to a local folder
Upload folder to a webhost via FTP client (GUI)
This was okay at the beginning, but it started to get really old, really fast when it started taking FOREVER to upload files. iWeb makes things difficult because each time you make a change, you overwrite ALL of the folders, thus I can't upload via FTP filtering by date modified.
So I did a little searching and found that you could use something called rsync. Using SSH, this program would upload just CHANGED files to my web server. For the past couple days, I've scurried around trying to determine if my webhost offered SSH, and long story short, I found somebody who's allowing me to use their web space and domain to see if this whole rsync thing works, etc.
So... I got rsync compiled and running (works locally syncing folder to folder), but whenever I try syncing over SSH, it just hangs until I force kill it using ctrl-c. It looks like it's initially working, as I have to enter my password (and if the wrong one's entered, it denies me access immediately). SSH itself doesn't seem to be the problem, as I can log into the server using SSH without a problem.
Here's the syntax I'm using:
I don't know if I'm missing syntax, have the wrong syntax, simply can't do this as of right now with Leopard, didn't compile rsync correctly, etc.
I'm running Mac OS X Leopard on a MacBook Pro (Intel 2.2 GHz, 2GB RAM) so you know. I'm sure much more info is needed to accurately answer this question, so just let me know what info you need. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

dupload
DUPLOAD(1) Debian Project DUPLOAD(1)NAME
dupload - utility to upload Debian packages
SYNOPSIS
dupload [options] [changes_file | dir] ...
DESCRIPTION
dupload is a tool that enables Debian developers to easily upload their packages to the Debian archive. At least for chiark the upload
procedure is somewhat error prone (upload to Incoming/, move it to queue/).
dupload checks each non-option argument to find readable files or directories. It parses the files as .changes files, or tries to find such
files in the given directories.
dupload will warn if the name of the file doesn't end with ".changes". Further processing is done chdir'ed into the directories of the
changes files.
dupload tests the available checksums and size for each file listed in the .changes file, and fails if it finds a mismatch. If all this
goes well, dupload checks if there is an .upload file with the basename of the .changes file. If the file to be uploaded is recorded to
have already been uploaded to the specified host, it is skipped.
dupload will stop and verify if it sees you try to upload a package with a non-US Section field to a host that is neither
non-us.debian.org, security.debian.org nor has the "nonus" option set to 1.
After the list of files to upload is finished, dupload tries to connect to the server and upload. Each successfully uploaded file is
recorded in the .upload log file.
If all files of a package are processed, the .changes file is mailed to the announcement address specified in the configuration file. If
files with
package.announce, package_UPSTREAMVER.announce, or
package_UPSTREAMVER-DEBIANREV.announce exist, these files get prepended to the announcement. UPSTREAMVER and DEBIANREV are to be replaced
with actual version numbers. For example, if your package is called foobar, has upstream version 3.14, and Debian revision 2:
If you only want the announcement to be made with only ONE upload, you name it foobar_3.14-2.announce.
If you want it to be made with every upload of a particular upstream version, name it foobar_3.14.announce.
If you want it made with every upload of a given package, name it foobar.announce.
Please note: Some mail readers (like elm w/ PGP extensions) don't show mail contents outside of the signed part of a message.
Login and password
If no login (username) is defined in the configuration file, "anonymous" is used. The password is derived from your login name and your
hostname, which is common for anonymous FTP logins. For anonymous logins only, you can provide the "password" in the configuration file.
For logins other than "anonymous", you're asked for the password. For security reasons there's no way to supply it via the commandline or
the environment.
FTP / scp / rsync
The default transfer method is FTP. Alternative methods are scp/SSH and rsync/SSH. For scp and rsync, the default login is taken from
your local user name.
The scp/SSH method only works properly if no password is required (see ssh(1)). When you use scp, it is recommended to set the "method"
keyword to "scpb", which will transfer all files in a batch.
If you are using an upload queue, use FTP because it's fast. If you are using an authenticated host, always use scp or rsync via SSH,
because FTP transmits the password in clear text.
OPTIONS -d --debug [level]
Enable more verbose output from the FTP module.
-f --force Upload regardless of the transfers logged as already completed.
-k --keep Keep going, skipping packages whose checksums don't match.
-c --configfile
Read the file ./dupload.conf (if it exists). Warning: this is a security risk if you are in a directory where other people can
write. That's why it is not the default (unlike the previous versions).
--no Dry run, no files are changed, no upload is attempted, only tell what we would do.
--nomail Supress announcement for this run. You can send it later by just calling dupload again w/o this option. Note that this option
is by default implied for all hosts with the "dinstall_runs" option set to 1.
--mailonly Acts as if --no has been specified and but sends the announcements, unconditionally.
--noarchive Adds a "X-No-Archive: yes" header so that the announcement will not be archived. You can use the per-host "archive" option in
the configuration file.
-p --print Print the "database" as read from the config files and exit. If a host is specified via option --to, only this host's entry is
displayed.
-q --quiet Be quiet, i.e. supress normal output.
-t --to nickname optional
Upload to nickname'd host. nickname is the key for doing lookups in the config file. You can use the "default_host"
configuration option to specify a host without --to.
-V --Version
Prints version and exits.
FILES
Configuration
The configuration files are searched as follows (and read in this order, overriding each other):
/etc/dupload.conf
~/.dupload.conf
Other
Various Debian package files are used by dupload: .dsc, .changes, .deb, .orig.tar.gz, .diff.gz
dupload itself writes the log file package_version-debian.upload, and the additional announcement files package.announce,
package_upstreamver.announce, and package_upstreamver-debianrev.announce.
Announcement addresses
By default, the announcement addresses are unset because dinstall sends mails instead.
BUGS
dupload is tested on Debian systems only. It shouldn't require too much effort to make it run under others systems, though, it's written in
Perl.
