Sync with ftp-deploy

[pk86]

Hi guys, I need a little assistance with my pipeline for deploy on ftp server.

I tried this pipeline:

image: wagnerstephan/bitbucket-git-ftp:latest

pipelines:
default:
- step:
script:
- echo "This script runs on all branches that don't have any specific pipeline assigned in 'branches'."
branches:
master:
- step:
name: Test
deployment: production
script:
- git reset --hard 
#- git ftp init -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST
- pipe: atlassian/ftp-deploy:0.3.7
variables:
USER: $FTP_USERNAME
PASSWORD: $FTP_PASSWORD
SERVER: $FTP_HOST
REMOTE_PATH: /test/my-remote-directory
EXTRA_ARGS: "--only-newer --exclude=bitbucket-pipelines.yml"
caches:
- composer

But for each deploy all file are overwritten. --only-newer option don't works, I think because every time git pull update the files date and overwrite existings.

Can I upload only new files (by size for example) or uplaod only changes from last commit?

I can't use rsync because my target server don't has ssh but only ftp.

Thanks & regards

Hey @pk86 

Welcome to the community.

The option you use "--only-newer" is invalid because FTP deploys everything from the folder you've specified and does not consider what has changed. It simply overrides whatever's on the destination and pushes everything again.

As workaround, you can use Git FTP which should do what you want where it will upload the recent files change/commit only.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

pipelines:
  custom:
    init:
    - step:
        name: For upload all files
        script:
          - git reset --hard
          - git ftp init -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST --remote-root $FTP_REMOTE_ROOT
    catchup:
    - step:
        name: For set that all files on server are already updated
        script:
          - git reset --hard
          - git ftp catchup -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST --remote-root $FTP_REMOTE_ROOT
    deploy:
    - step:
        name: Deploy all files of current checkout
        script:
          - git reset --hard
          - git ftp push -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST --all --remote-root $FTP_REMOTE_ROOT
  branches:
    master:
    - step:
      name: Deploy production
      deployment: production
      script:
        - git reset --hard
        - git ftp push -u "$FTP_USERNAME" -p "$FTP_PASSWORD" ftp://$FTP_HOST --remote-root $FTP_REMOTE_ROOT

If you need to exlude some file, you can declate them on .git-ftp-ignore
