How to skip uploading some files with ftp-deploy:0.2.2

Mark Stickling

I would like to deploy using Bitbucket's own ftp-deploy:0.2.2.

However the repository in question has files within it (for development) that MUST NOT be transferred to the server.

Is there a way to get ftp-deploy:0.2.2 to skip certain files and directories?

Additional context:

In the past we have deployed using git-ftp which allows fine grained control of files to skip but git-ftp is a little annoying to set up and I'd like to see if the newly provided ftp-deploy:0.2.2 solution can meet our needs.

Hi @Mark Stickling ,
We added support EXTRA_ARGS param in a new version of ftp-deploy:0.2.3 pipe, so now you can exclude files or directories this way:

script:
  - pipe: atlassian/ftp-deploy:0.2.3
    variables:
      USER: my-ftp-user
      PASSWORD: $FTP_PASSWORD
      SERVER: 127.0.0.1
      REMOTE_PATH: /tmp/my-remote-directory
      LOCAL_PATH: /my-working-directory,
      EXTRA_ARGS: "--exclude=filename_to_exclude.txt --exclude=folder_to_exclude/"
