FTPloy

A simple (CLI) tool to deploy stuff via FTP

(Check out sftploy for SFTP deployments.)

Usage

npm install --save-dev ftploy

var ftploy = require('ftploy');

ftploy({
  username: 'john',
  password: 'abc123',
  host: 'example.com',
  port: 21,
  localRoot: './build',
  remoteRoot: '/www/example.com/'
  exclude: [
    '.git'
  ]
}).then(function () {
  console.log('Deployment successful.');
}).catch(function (error) {
  console.error('Deployment failed.', error);
});

CLI

npm install -g ftploy

$ ftploy

The following options may be stored within a ftploy.json file in the root of your project or passed as parameters or environment variables (prefixed using ftploy_). For example, your username and password may be provided in the following three ways.

ftploy.json file

{
  "username": "john",
  "password": "abc123"
}

Parameters

$ ftploy --username="john" --password="abc123"

Environment variables

$ FTPLOY_USERNAME="john" FTPLOY_PASSWORD="abc123" ftploy

Options

username

The FTP username.

password

The FTP password. In case no password is provided, the CLI will prompt you for it.

host

The FTP host.

port

The FTP port.

Default: 21

files

An array of files or a glob pattern to select files to upload.

Default: **/* (= glob pattern for all files and directories within the provided localRoot; see below)

localRoot

The local directory whose contents FTPloy will upload.

Default: process.cwd() (= the directory you’re running the CLI in)

remoteRoot

The remote directory where FTPloy will upload the contents to.

Default: /

exclude

Certain files (matching the respective glob patterns) that shall be ignored by FTPloy. In most cases, you may want to exclude your .git directory or directories like node_modules.

If you’re using an array of files instead of an glob pattern within the files option, exclude will be ignored.

Examples

$ ftploy --exclude=*.jpg --exclude=*.png --exclude=node_modules/**/*

{
  "exclude": [
    "*.jpg",
    "*.png"
  ]
}
