[talhaa99]

same issue, any luck?

Till now, nothing!

[Arman091]

is there any update for this,i am also going through same issue. problem is with connection with server

1.if i provide additional key that is protocol that error message always indicate you provided your protocol as ***(whatever i chose) insted chose (ftps or ftps-legecy or ftp) whatever i don't choose.

having said that it always through error with whatever protocol i choose for my key.

[Arman091]

Yes!! I GOT IT ,Problem was with secret Keys i was providing secret keys as "keyvalue" also i changed my password to alphanumeric chracter and no special character because github action throws error if you provide any secret key with special characters i think that's it.

1.give username no special charachter just plain text while creating new ftp account 2.create your own password with text and numbers 3.make sure your username and host name are at right place

Also protocol is not necessary to provide as key but,i provided all 4 keys and values,so you should also use all 4 keys. 1.USER_NAME 2.SERVER_NAME 3.PASSWORD 4.PROTOCOL

Worked for me changing the server name to the ip address of the server.

Using the IP address for the FTP server and ensuring the password contains only letters and numbers (no special characters) worked for me.
