Deploy dist/build folder only

[edemking]

Hi there,

There comes a time you would like to deploy just the built files only.

Even as you have "Build and Publish React/Angular/Vue Website" there could be a request by someone to deploy to a different server and you may want to deploy just the built files.

How can that be done?

Please help.

Hi @edemking I had some issues but went through the docs and saw you can do this by adding this commands on the "with" call

with:
   server: ${{ secrets.ftp_server }}
   username: ${{ secrets.ftp_username }}
   password: ${{ secrets.ftp_password }}
   server-dir: /public_html/
   dangerous-clean-slate: true
   local-dir: ./dist/

This should help you out and you can close this issue... Thank You

Hello!
I'm having an issue with local-dir. When I try to push, the action returns an 550 error :

FTPError: 550 Can't change directory to /public_html/dist: No such file or directory

Here's my code:

with:
      server: ${{ secrets.ftp_host }}
      username: ${{ secrets.ftp_username }}
      password: ${{ secrets.ftp_password }}
      server-dir: public_html/
      local-dir: ./dist/

I really did not create an FTP account to make use of this, I used my server username and password, it worked just fine, and please verify you are not ignoring the dist file and also please verify you are using yarn and not npm

yarn uses dist while npm uses build

Please verify your build folder name

I hope this helps
