Problems with uploading project directory

[WhatDothLife]

I can't upload my project dir to the remote.

Setup of .dir-locals.el:

((nil . (
  (ssh-deploy-root-local . "/home/respighi/projects/DeepHPM")
  (ssh-deploy-root-remote . "/sftp:s8179597@taurus.hrsk.tu-dresden.de:/home/h6/s8179597/DeepHPM/")
  (ssh-deploy-async . 1)
  (ssh-deploy-on-explicit-save . 1)
)))

Problem

When I call ssh-deploy-upload-handler the echo area shows Uploading file ’/home/respighi/projects/DeepHPM/Schrodinger2D_DeepHPM.py’ to ’/Schrodinger2D_DeepHPM.py’.. (asynchronously)

After this message the minibuffer stays silent. The file doesn't change on the remote. I also find it suspicious that for the remote only the relative path is shown.

More info

I'm using doom-emacs' upload module. The config-file can be found here.

Any idea how to fix this?

Yes, I suspect an issue occurs asynchronously, turn off asynchronous mode with (setq ssh-deploy-async 0) while in the related buffer and try command again. You should see some kind of error, maybe a interactive question that can't be handled asynchronously via async.el.

Other thing is that emacs have poor platform support for sftp, if the conmection is just FTP over SSH then try using SSH instead as protocol

[WhatDothLife]

I enabled asynchronous deployment in the first place, because synchronous deployment resulted in an error message. it reads as follows:

Uploading file ’/home/michael/projects/DeepHPM/Schrodinger2D_DeepHPM.py’ to ’/Schrodinger2D_DeepHPM.py’.. (synchronously)
ssh-deploy--upload-via-tramp: Opening output file: Permission denied, /Schrodinger2D_DeepHPM.py

Might this be due to the remote configuration?

[cjohansson]

Sounds like you lack permission on the remote host. Probably server configuration issue unless yor remote path is wrong

[cjohansson]

I changed by mind the expected message should be

Uploading file ’/home/michael/projects/DeepHPM/Schrodinger2D_DeepHPM.py’ to ’/sftp:s8179597@taurus.hrsk.tu-dresden.de:/home/h6/s8179597/DeepHPM/Schrodinger2D_DeepHPM.py’.. (synchronously)

I think doom is using a fork from this project, maybe it's using a different message. Anyway if your using the latest version of ssh-deploy your message should be as above, otherwise something is wrong with your paths.

I'm closing this since you're not answering my questions, please re-open if issue persists
