First push mistake - Githubissues

And here's another comment from a newbie, which might hopefully mean someone else doesn't make the same mistake.

My first test of Wordmove push didn’t go very well. Most significantly, I was not expecting this:

Removing old file `.bash_logout'
Removing old file `.bash_profile'
Removing old file `.bashrc'
Removing old file `.contactemail'
Removing old directory `.cpanel'
Removing old directory `.ftp_enforcer'
Removing old file `.ftpquota'       
Removing old directory `.htpasswds'
Removing old file `.lastlogin'     
Removing old directory `.softaculous'
Removing old file `.zshrc'     
Removing old file `access-logs'
Removing old file `cpbackup-exclude.conf'
Removing old directory `etc'
Removing old directory `logs'   
Removing old directory `mail'                             
Removing old directory `public_ftp'
Removing old directory `public_html'
Removing old directory `ssl'                           
Removing old file `www'

Luckily this was a test account so nothing important lost (but unusual activity meant my IP was blocked temporarily!).

Other problems were that the upload repeated several times (it seemed to recurse), some directories could not be made, and some files which were explicitly excluded by Movefile were uploaded anyway.

This was definitely user error, but the fact that wordmove accesses the directory above public_html is a bit alarming, especially as --simulate seemed to show everything would work as expected.

My mistake was to not include directory /wp at the end of my local wordpress_path: and once this was added the push worked properly.
