Today I tested with your npm package and it worked, the command I used was. ftp-deploy --server ftp.my-website.net --username user --password mypass --local-dir ./dist/web/ I ran it inside the web folder described in My Action Config's local-dir and worked just fine, after that I tryed running workflow without server-dir since the package worked but got the same error. One thing that I noticed is that the package created the file .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json but the workflow error still shows this message:

----------------------------------------------------------------

@biel-correa can you view the server and tell me where your .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json file is located on the server?

[biel-correa]

@biel-correa can you view the server and tell me where your .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json file is located on the server?

it is inside www which is the folder filezilla opens right after login.

[biel-correa]

@SamKirkland is there a verbose config that I could use to view more details?

[SamKirkland]

You can set log-level to verbose

[biel-correa]

@SamKirkland I ran it like this now:

- name: Deploy
    if: success()
    uses: SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@4.3.0
    with:
        server: ftp.my-website.net
        username: user
        password: ${{ secrets.FTP_FRONTEND_PASSWORD }}
        local-dir: ./web/dist/web/
        server-dir: ./www/
        log-level: verbose

And got this:

this command is trying to create a folder called . > MKD .

[biel-correa]

also tested with server-dir: www/, had the same error but it tries to create a folder called www instead of .

[SamKirkland]

It looks like you are getting permission errors. Can you see if you can increase the permissions on your FTP account?

[biel-correa]

I can't, if I connect with the same account on filezilla I can do anything. The permission error might be from a folder that I shouldn't even be in

[biel-correa]

@SamKirkland Is there any way off viewing pwd when it logs in to ftp?

[rbalet]

Hi @biel-correa @SamKirkland I'm coming back to this error again, as I just faced it today.

I've analysed it

This is the github action config

      - name: ⬆️ Upload ftp
        uses: SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@v4.3.5
        with:
          server: ${{ secrets.FTP_HOST }}
          username: ${{ secrets.FTP_USER }}
          password: ${{ secrets.FTP_PASSWORD }}
          local-dir: ./dist/my-website/
          server-dir: ./
          log-level: verbose

And this is what the library is doing

📄 Upload: browser/.user.ini
📄 Upload: browser/chunk-3GFIK4GU.js
... // chunks
📄 Upload: browser/styles-56ZPM6VB.css
📁 Delete: my-website  

He does then get the problem by trying to delete the my-website

  file uploaded
removing folder "/my-website"
> PWD
< 257 "/" is the current directory

> CWD /my-website
< 550 /my-website: No such file or directory

Inside the ./dist/my-website folder we do have a browser file.

Same over in the server

So the upload does actually work as expected, but for some reason he's trying to remove the my-website which does not exists.

I've changed the default outputPath to point extra to that dist/my-website, as I'm working in an nx monorepo and i do have multiple website like dist/second-website, ....

This does seems to be due to that change in the outputPath, as it works just fine without the /my-website -> Aka. local-dir: ./dist/
