FTP QUICK DEPLOY

Quick way to upload React or simiular projects via FTP

FTP Quick Deploy is a package that helps uploading you'r project to the server via ftp with only one command.

Features

• Upload via FTP
• (optional) Refresh cache for Siteground hosting

Installation

For development environmt...

npm install ftp-quick-deploy --save-dev

then craete a file on the root of the application [as a sibling to the 'build' folder] called deploy.js (the name of the file is just a convention) and add the following code to it:

const deploy = require('ftp-quick-deploy');

deploy({
    host: "<<your-host>>",
    port: "<<your-port>>", // default port 21
    username: "<<your-username>>",
    pass: "<<your-password>>",
    remote_path: "<<your-remote-path>>",
    folder: "<<your-local-folder>>", // defaults to 'build'
    sg_site_id: "<<your-siteground-id>>",  // optional
    sg_username: "<<your-siteground-username>>",  // optional
    sg_pass: "<<your-siteground-password>>",  // optional
})

replace the placeholders with you'r information (e.g. host: "<<your-host>>", -> host: "ftp.your-domain.com", ).

NOTE: The Siteground information is just for refreshing the cache - it is not required.

NOTE: The port is not required if its 21.

then add to the package.json an entry in the 'scripts' property like so:

"deploy": "node deploy.js"

so in a tipical react app the package.json scripts property will look something like:

  "scripts": {
      "start": "react-scripts start",
      "build": "react-scripts build",
      "deploy": "node deploy.js",
      "test": "react-scripts test",
      "eject": "react-scripts eject"
   },

then run the following command from you'r console AFTER YOU RAN THE 'build' COMMAND.

npm run deploy

thats it!!
