Hello,

I've edited your comment to remove your credentials. Keep in mind these issues are public, so please update your ftp login username/password asap.

Because you provided your credentials I went ahead and ran a dry-run test against it. I had no issues using the following config on a github action. I'm going to go ahead and close this issue. Please re-test and if this issue occurs again we can reopen this issue.

Even me too can see the changes but most of the files are not uploading after the error with the attachment above persists.

Hmmm it appears to be this issue: patrickjuchli/basic-ftp#133

Currently I do not have support for setting the transfer mode of this action in an attempt to keep the config options as simple as possible.

I can look into adding it but no promises.

Hello! I am having the same issue as well. Is there a way around this?

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
name: Deploy website on push
jobs:
  web-deploy:
    name: Deploy
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Get latest code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2.3.2
    
    - name: Sync files
      uses: SamKirkland/FTP-Deploy-Action@4.0.0
      with:
        server: my.ftpserver.com
        username: ${{ secrets.ftp_username }}
        password: ${{ secrets.ftp_password }}
        server-dir: /staging/

Thanks a bunch!

Same issue here.
Error: Can't open data connection in passive mode: connect

Any solution?

[RizwanNaasir]

@therbta Hi, what i think what's wrong on your end is you are trying to sync big project with alot files and folders so what you should do try sync step by step putting your files in gitignore (go first with the files that causing the initial error you can check the logs. ) and keep trying it will work eventually.

I was able to get it to work by switching my protocol from ftps to ftp. It may be an issue with my hoster on how they handle ftps, but it works now ... :)
