Require option to NOT --delete-first

[RyeNCode]

Require flag or option to disable --delete-first from the mirror command sent to lftp.

scenario:

master deploy is to root of web-dir

/ <-- here

test is to subdir

/test/ <-- here

master deploy, due to --delete-first clears the /test/ directory

I did not find an obvious solution at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/en/man1/lftp.1.html

src ref: https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/ftp-deploy/src/master/pipe/pipe.sh line 40

Thanks,

Hi @RyeNCode ,
In a new version of ftp-deploy: 0.3.0 we added DELETE_FLAG variable to make --delete-first optional. To disable --delete-first flag you may write:

script:
  - pipe: atlassian/ftp-deploy:0.3.0
    variables:
      USER: my-ftp-user
      PASSWORD: $FTP_PASSWORD
      SERVER: 127.0.0.1
      REMOTE_PATH: /tmp/my-remote-directory
      LOCAL_PATH: /my-working-directory,
      DELETE_FLAG: 'false'

Please notice that the default value of DELETE_FLAG is true - to leave the previous logic for those who already use the pipe.

If you have any questions or suggestions - feel free to leave it, we are always grateful for the feedback.

Awesome, thank you for the quick turn around on this @Viktoriia Kozopas !

Hi @Viktoriia Kozopas 

Is there a way to use the `DELETE_FLAG`, but exclude certain directories from being deleted?
