ftp deploy 🚀

Syncs a local folder with a remote folder over ftp.

After the initial sync only differences are synced, making deployments super fast!

Latest Stable Version NPM Downloads

How to Run

Option 1 - Run via command line

  • Install the npm package using npm install @samkirkland/ftp-deploy --only=dev

  • Run via command line ftp-deploy --server ftp.samkirkland.com --username [email protected] --password \"CrazyUniquePassword&%123\"

  • Or you can add a script to make deployments easier

  • Add a new key to your package.json file under scripts section. See example below.

  • You can run the script using the following command npm run deploy (run this in the folder that has the package.json file)

Example of package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "deploy": "ftp-deploy --server ftp.samkirkland.com --username [email protected] --password \"CrazyUniquePassword&%123\"",
  },
}

Option 2 - Run programmatically

  • Install the npm package using npm install @samkirkland/ftp-deploy --only=dev
  • Import the code and use it in your code

Example of myCustomDeployment.js:

import { deploy, excludeDefaults } from "@samkirkland/ftp-deploy";

async function deployMyCode() {
  console.log("🚚 Deploy started");
  await deploy({
    server: "ftp.samkirkland.com",
    username: "[email protected]",
    password: `CrazyUniquePassword&%123`, // note: I'm using backticks here ` so I don't have to escape quotes
    exclude: [...excludeDefaults, "dontDeployThisFolder/**"] // excludeDefaults will exclude .git files and node_modules
  });
  console.log("🚀 Deploy done!");
}

deployMyCode();
