SFTP REMOTE_PATH without leading slash

[Joel Gardner]

I'm trying to set up n SFTP pipeline to push to a staging server on Cloudways. The remote path is applications/teststage/public_html. However, when the pipeline connects it adds a leading slash to the path which causes a "No such file or directory error." How can I remove the leading slash or prevent it from being added?

Here is the pertinent portion of the yml file ($STAGE_PATH var is set to applications/teststage/public_html):

pipelines:
 branches: 
   stage:  
     - step: 
          name: 'Deployment to Staging' 
          deployment: staging 
          script: - echo "Starting deployment to STAGE..." 
      - pipe: atlassian/sftp-deploy:0.5.7 
          variables: 
          USER: $SERVER_USER 
          SERVER: '142.93.5.244' 
          REMOTE_PATH: $STAGE_PATH 
          PASSWORD: $SERVER_PASS 
          LOCAL_PATH: 'build' 
          DEBUG: 'true' 
          EXTRA_ARGS: '-P 22'

Here is the error
