Treehouse Guest Teacherterminal login issues
I have started working somewhere. There are servers I've been given access to using a public key generated from my computer. However, while the ssh login seems to be fine at first, I can't actually grab the repo using this rsync. It wants a password I shouldn't need. The previous dev suggested my terminal is ignoring ssh? Is this even possible? How would I fix that?
Need to access this code :/
Thanks for your help!

to me, I'm thinking that your mac is somehow configured to ignore your .ssh keys when connecting.
Baffling, but reminds me why I'm not trying to run a public server ...

8,831 PointsYou can tell rsync to use your ssh with '-e "ssh"' in your options.
So, try the following:
rsync -avz -e "ssh" naomi@svn.civicrm.ca:/var/www/vhosts/community.socialinnovation.ca .
You might also need to remove the naomi@, but not positive on that.
