I am using linux system (ubuntu) to pull code using wp engine hosting but after completion of this process when I click on visit site and then shows 403 Forbidden. When I go to folder structure there is no file related to wordpress like wp-config.php etc and folder wp-content etc. so what is the issue on linux system ?

Same issue here … I am using Fedora 34 and have had NO luck connecting and pulling from WPE to Local.

Hey @webdev1 and @bhavna.singh – Welcome to the Local Community Forums and sorry for the late reply!
This can be a tricky thing to diagnose from a distance. Can you provide a bit more info about your setup?
- What version of Local are you using?
- What Operating System and OS version is being used?
- Can you please provide your Local Log? See this Community Forum post for instructions on how to do so:
- Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one?
- Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site?
What version of Local are you using?
Localwp v.6.0.0+5444
What Operating System and OS version is being used?
Fedora 34
Can you please provide your Local Log?
local-lightning.log (139.6 KB)
Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one?
Happens on every WPEngine site I try to pull to local. The app/public directory is basically empty
Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site?
Yes, I can create a local site just fine.
@ben.turner It seems like it is this line in the log:
{"thread":"main","class":"DevKitService","message":"rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]\nrsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(228) [Receiver=3.2.3]\n","level":"warn","timestamp":"2021-07-03T14:44:13.127Z"}
Right now Localwp is unusable to work on this client site pulling from WPEngine.
Any help would be appreciated.

That error doesn’t seem specific to Local – by that I mean it seems lower level and is likely related to the SSH connection.
The first thing I would recommend is disconnecting from WPE and try re-connecting to the site by following these steps:
If you still have issues after re-connecting, then it’s likely there is something else messing with the SSH connection. Some things that you might consider:
- Is this a work computer, possibly with some security settings that are messing with the SSH key that the computer is providing?
- Are you using a VPN? It’s possible that they are “doing stuff” that is messing with that connection.
Actually @ben.turner I respectively disagree. LocalWP will not work pulling a site from WPE. I have already done all you suggested to no avail.
In addition:
- I installed Fedora in a VM with VMWare just to test a default clean install, but it does not work any differently that my host Fedora OS.
- I installed Ubuntu in a VM with VMWare to test a default clean install of a different distribution, and LocalWP works fine
At a minimum, LocalWP does not work as expected in Fedora. The LocalWP install obviously does not account for these issues. If there is going to be a LocalWP RPM version it needs to be a working version OR at least provide post-installation steps the users needs to complete.

Are there specific distros where Local works as expected? If so, can you outline what they are.
I’ve checked out a few Linux threads and there are many unresolved issues (including my latest thread)
In general, I think most Local users are on Ubuntu. I use Ubuntu 21.04 as the OS on my personal machine, and often use Local to work with sites and deploy them to Flywheel.
I use elementary OS (based on Ubuntu) and still experience issues.
It’s hard to say what’s going on without more info!
Can you create a new topic in the Support category and add as much detail as you can so that others can help replicate or troubleshoot?
