+## Assumptions
+
+* A web host running a web server. This could be a shared hosting environment or a VPS.
+* Access to your web host with any of the [protocols supported by rclone](https://rclone.org/#providers), such as SFTP.
+* A functional static website built with Hugo
+* Deploying from an [Rclone](https://rclone.org) compatible operating system
+* You have [installed Rclone](https://rclone.org/install/).
+
+**NB**: You can remove ``--interactive`` in the commands below once you are comfortable with rclone, if you wish. Also, ``--gc`` and ``--minify`` are optional in the ``hugo`` commands below.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+The spoiler is that you can even deploy your entire website from any compatible OS with no configuration. Using SFTP for example:
+
+```
+hugo --gc --minify
+rclone sync --interactive --sftp-host sftp.example.com --sftp-user www-data --sftp-ask-password public/ :sftp:www/
+```
+
+## Configure Rclone for Even Easier Usage
+
+The easiest way is simply to run ``rclone config``.
+
+The [Rclone docs](https://rclone.org/docs/) provide [an example of configuring Rclone to use SFTP](https://rclone.org/sftp/).
+
+For the next commands, we will assume you configured a remote you named ``hugo-www``
+
+The above 'spoiler' commands could become:
+
+```
+hugo --gc --minify
+rclone sync --interactive public/ hugo-www:www/
+```
+
+After you issue the above commands (and respond to any prompts), check your website and you will see that it is deployed.
