svn2ftp

bash script to incremental upload changes in subversion repositories to ftp/sftp server

How does it work

The configurations for the script are stored as properties in the svn root directory. this includes the target ftp server, username and password. The script will request the svn revision id of the last ftp files from the ftp server. Alle files newer will than be copied to the ftp server and the revision status file updated with the current revision.

Installation

Requires:

• curl for FTP upload
• bash
• svn

Operating Systems supported:

• OSX (tested)
• UNIX/Bash (not tested)

Make svn2ftp executable:

chmod +x svn2ftp

Add svn2ftp to your PATH in /usr/local/bin

cp svn2ftp /usr/local/bin

Setup

Add the target ftp server to your SVN repository

svn propset deploy 'ftp://<user>:<passwort>@<server>/<path>' .

Usage

start on commandline

svn2ftp <path to local svn checkout>

as a custom build setup in sublime text 2 projectname.sublime-project:

{
	"folders":
	[
		{
			"path": "<path to project>"
		}
	],
	"build_systems":
    [
        {
            "name": "svn2ftp",
            "cmd": ["svn2ftp","$project_path"],
            "path": "/Users/xx/bin/" // only relevant if _svn2ftp_ ist not in PATH
        }
    ]
}

Note

To use the script with sublime text 2 the bash needs to be called with this code to load the path to bin

#!/bin/bash --login

TODO

• error handling
• copy all files if there is no /deploy/REVISION on the ftp server
