SFTP deploy - permissions denied (cannot write) pipeline status successfull

[kybernaut]

Hi, I'm trying to connect to SFTP using this pipeline: I a total newbie to pipelines and I couldn't figure it out. I have two questions:

1. Why I have permission to write new files but not to overwrite existing (the result is 0 sized file) and not create directories?
2. Why it returns "successful"? It has "deleted" all files I have changed, doesn't have permission to write - I would like to see big fail notice.

Thanks for your help in advance

My code here:

pipelines:
 branches:
   master:   
   - step:
       name: Deploy to staging
       deployment: staging
       script:
         - pipe: atlassian/sftp-deploy:0.5.5
           variables:
             USER: '$FTP_USERNAME'
             SERVER: 'example.sftp.wpengine.com'
             REMOTE_PATH: '/wp-content/themes/getmanta-portal/'
             PASSWORD: '$FTP_PASSWORD'
             EXTRA_ARGS: '-P 2222 -oStrictHostKeyChecking=false'

The result looks like this:

Permissions denied:

And when I tried to deploy to an empty folder it wasn't able to recreate the file structure:

This is 100% a wpengine issue not a bitbucket issue. I had the same issue with lftp that I've used for a ton of deployments from gitlab with wpengine. The solution is to use the 

wpengine/wpe-site-deploy:v1 bitbucket pipe. This is going to open an ssh session then do the file copy rather than use sftp which wpengine doesn't support.

Any bitbucket official person please take a look into this issue. I am also stuck in such senario when I tried to push changes to WPEngine through sftp pipeline I'm getting same issues like above permission denied

@Abdul Rehman  you're right and I found it already (but I've forgotten about the question asked here), I would close this issue, but I can't find where ;)

Sounds like I'm having a nearly identical experience. Except my files don't seem to be emptied/deleted like @kybernaut , just no change.

Trying to use BitBucket Pipelines SFTP to deploy to WPEngine.

The SFTP credentials work fine when using them in a FTP client like macOS Transmit.

But when using them with…

- pipe: atlassian/sftp-deploy:0.5.5

 …I get similar logs to @kybernaut :

• remote open(FILE): Permission denied
• Uploading of file FILE to FILE failed!
• Couldn't setstat on FILE: Permission denied

Then the last lines are…

Transferred: sent 22608, received 15408 bytes, in 17.8 seconds
Bytes per second: sent 1266.9, received 863.4
debug1: Exit status 0
✔ Deployment finished. 

…but nothing on the server has changed 😐.

I am still having this problem. I can not copy new folder which doesn't exists on server. I am trying to upload fresh copy so there is not folder -subfolder on server. How to resolve this issue? I am able to transfer files but not folder.
