ftp-uploader

Tired of the manual grind when it comes to uploading projects to a shared hosting with FTP access? Enter

ftp-uploader

a robust command-line tool engineered to simplify your workflow and automate the process of deploying projects to your FTP server.

Key Features:

• Seamless Automation: Bid farewell to manual uploads. Effortlessly deploy your projects with a single command.
• Selective Uploads: Tailor your uploads by leveraging Gitignore logic. Easily ignore specific paths and files, putting you in control of your project uploads.
• Time-Efficient: Save precious time on repetitive FTP uploads, allowing you to concentrate on refining your projects.

Installation

Install the latest build

Linux

sudo curl -fsSL -o /usr/local/bin/ftp-uploader https://github.com/Ragueel/ftp-uploader/releases/latest/download/ftp-uploader-linux-amd64
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/ftp-uploader

Docker

docker pull ghcr.io/ragueel/ftp-uploader:main

Creating config

Init project with:

ftp-uploader init

It should generate your ftp-uploader.yaml with the following content:

configs:
  default:
    root: . # local root directory, in which files you want to upload lie
    uploadRoot: my-relative-path/ # directory where files will be uploaded
    ignorePaths:
      - ftp-uploader.yaml

note: You can have as many configs as you want!

ignorePaths follows the same structure as ignore lines of any normal .gitignore file

You can also provide ignoreFile variable in the config. It will merge lines from the file with ignorePaths

You can configure the behaviour of the tool via the following environment variables

name	description
FTP_UPLOADER_CONNECTION_COUNT	controls how many parallel connections are created
ROOT_CONFIG_PATH	path to your ftp-upload.yaml file
FTP_UPLOADER_USERNAME	username
FTP_UPLOADER_PASSWORD	password
FTP_UPLOADER_HOST	host (port should be included)

Uploading to ftp server

If you set up everything properly, you can start your upload via the following command:

ftp-uploader upload -c default

If config is not passed it uploads all configs. Example:

ftp-uploader upload

You can also pass authentication credentials via terminal. Like in the example below

ftp-uploader upload --username MY_USER --pasword MY_PASSWORD --host MY_HOST --config example

It is also possible to use multiple connections to speed up the process of uploading. To do that pass -t flag with integer. The tool will create connections equal to that amount, and will use it to upload your files.

ftp-uploader upload -c default -t 10 # will use 10 connections to upload files

ftp-uploader -h
