Hi, just for info / reference purposes ... I'm using the exact same operating system and Publii versions and builds, as you, plus my setup is SFTP (with key) and website upload, synch, etc., works just fine. My web host, in this instance, is SiteGround.com.

Hi,

Most probably your "Path" option is configured wrongly - most probably you have to use the absolute path to the destination directory

@Uzayer @dziudek

When configuring my SFTP setup, when I followed my web host's instruction, I needed to change the Port to: 18765

Also, as @dziudek suggested, the precise Remote path was crucial. In my instance, it would be: /home/customer/www/your-domain-name.com/public_html/

Hope that helps.

FTP problem solved, but I don't know why.

meika commented 7 months ago

Just trying to understand what "precise remote path" might be ???

somedomain.com/public_html/ 
ftp.somedomain.com/public_html/

Publii Version: 0.42.1 (build 16233) on NixOS (so its the nixOS package and not very recent by the look)

filezilla works fine, but uploading the zip file will get more and more onerous.

Hi :wave:

I have a similar issue.

I am using Publiii version 0.46.1 (build 16918) on MintOS. Filezilla works fine too.

I have tried relative and absolute paths, with and without slashes.

I don't see error message in the CLI though, so I'm not sure this is exactly the same error.

meika commented 2 months ago

Keep trying various file pathway variations, mine ended up being the simplest one, not the complex longer versions somedomain.com not somedomain.com/username/public/subdomain/home/.... (or whatever you've got)(serving suggestions are exaggerated for effect)

apparently it varies a lot by hosting provider and whatever guesswork is in the middle by Publii

when it finally worked I was shocked, there is no clear help on this unfortunately, even contacting my friendly hosting provider was not particular helpful, but start with the simplest and see how you go

Hello. I work with keomabrun on the same issue. I tryed various file pathway variations. Sometime Publii say the connection is successful, sometime it say that the connection is successful but it is unable to store files. Both case with the same parameters ! After that, in any cases, the "Save settings" button is active but do nothing, so I cannot jump to site files uploading step.
