Transfer hidden files / dotfiles with sftp-deploy

Ralph Bolliger

Hello there community!

I am not able to get hidden files/dotfiles, or more specifically the .htaccess file, transferred over SFTP with the sftp-deploy:0.5.7 pipe.

My current script is this:

pipelines:
  branches:
    "develop":
      - step:
          name: Create staging build
caches:
            - node
script:
            - yarn
- yarn build
artifacts:
            - build/**
- step:
          name: Deploy to staging environment on --stripped-- ($STAGING_SERVER)
deployment: staging
script:
            - pipe: atlassian/sftp-deploy:0.5.7
variables:
                SERVER: $STAGING_SERVER
USER: $STAGING_USER
PASSWORD: $STAGING_PASSWORD
REMOTE_PATH: "/httpdocs/--stripped--/"
                LOCAL_PATH: "build/*"
                EXTRA_ARGS: "-r -P 2121"
                DEBUG: "true"

The .htaccess file is present in the artifacts tar.gz file downloaded from the pipe after completing the first step. But it doesn't get transferred in the second step.

I also tried different approaches (globs) on the LOCAL_PATH variable, including single and double asterisks. I also passed the -r flag in EXTRA_ARGS… but it doesn't work.

Does anybody know a solid solution to this?

Greetings & a happy new year!

@Ralph Bolliger Thanks for using the pipe.

Following basic steps , I didn't succeed to reproduce your issue.

I have deployed through sftp-deploy pipe folder with hidden files  and tried to run yarn build - it says there is no such command.

Perhaps, you meant `yarn install` or some plugins should be installed?

Also, I'd like to get the problem more precisely: are you looking for .htaccess file in tar.gz and then you look for .htaccess file or .tar.gz file on the server?

Svftp-deploy pipe only deploys files to server without unpacking.
