    <p>I'm using Drush 4.2 and I'm trying to rsync files from a the dev server to my local machine. My aliases.drushrc.php is located in the root of my local drupal installation and has the following in it:</p> <pre><code> $aliases['local'] = array( 'root' =&gt; '/Users/christian/Sites/site-root', 'path-aliases' =&gt; array( '%files' =&gt; 'sites/default/files' ), ); $aliases['dev'] = array( 'root' =&gt; '/var/www/vhosts/some-domain.com/subdomains/dev/httpdocs', 'remote-host' =&gt; 'some-domain.com', 'remote-user' =&gt; 'root', 'path-aliases' =&gt; array( '%drush' =&gt; ' /var/tools/drush/drush', '%files' =&gt; 'sites/default/files', ), ); </code></pre> <p>As a test I try to run this from the local drupal root:</p> <blockquote> <p>drush rsync @dev:%files ~/Desktop/test/</p> </blockquote> <p>I expect @dev:%files to expand to the remote file path but instead I get:</p> <blockquote> <p>You will destroy data from /Volumes/MacintoshHD/Users/christian/Desktop/test/ and replace with data from @dev:/Volumes/MacintoshHD/Users/christian/Sites/site-root/%files</p> </blockquote> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>UPDATE: I've also found that when I'm try the command:</p> <blockquote> <p>drush dd @dev:%files</p> </blockquote> <p>I get </p> <blockquote> <p>Target '@dev:%files' not found.</p> </blockquote> <p>UPDATE 2</p> <p>I've found that the issue seems to be coming from the location of the aliases.drushrc.php file. I had it in the drupal root of the site I was working on. I found that if I moved it to ~/.drush/ then everything worked perfectly.</p> <p>I'd prefer to have it under source control though. I tried putting it in sites/default/ but it had the same problems as before. I'll award the bounty to whomever tells me where to put this file so it's under the source controlled site root. </p>

    1. COThe syntax seems right. Try running with the debug option. drush -d rsync @dev:%files ~/Desktop/test

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
