I have been trying to deploy my app into the Fortrabbit servers using the command line. I'm using windows. Here is what I tried :

C:\projects\riwaya>git remote add fort [email protected]:riwaya.git
C:\projects\riwaya>git remote fort
C:\projects\riwaya>ssh [email protected]
'ssh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable     program or batch file.

I have watched This Laracast Video and did the same as Jeffrey but it doesn't work ...

Can somebody help ?

Actually you have 2 problems here: First is that you don't have ssh installed, second is that you don't know how to deploy

Install SSH

It seems that ssh is not installed on your computer.

You can install openssh from here : http://openssh.en.softonic.com/download

Generate your key

Than you will have to geneate your ssh-key. There's a good tutorial about this here:

https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys#platform-windows

Deploy

To deploy, you just have to push your code over git. Something like this:

git push fort master

If you get permission denied, be sure that you have put your public_key in the dashboard in the git tab.

SSH

The ssh command gives you access to your remote node. You should have received a password by email and now that you have ssh installed, you should be asked for a password when trying to connect. just input that password. If you want to use your private ssh key to connect to your server rather then typing that password, you can follow this : http://fortrabbit.com/docs/how-to/ssh-sftp/enable-public-key-authentication
