Use Gitlab Pipeline to push data to ftpserver - gitlab

Question

I want to deploy to a ftp server using a Gitlab pipeline.
I tried this code:
deploy: // You can name your task however you like
stage: deploy
only:
- master
deploy:
script:
- apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq lftp
But I get a error message. What is the best way to do this? :)

Answer 1

Then add the following code in your .gitlab-ci.yml file.
variables:
HOST: "example.com"
USERNAME: "yourUserNameHere"
PASSWORD: "yourPasswordHere"
deploy:
script:
- apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq lftp
- lftp -c "set ftp:ssl-allow no; open -u $USERNAME,$PASSWORD $HOST; mirror -Rnev ./public_html ./ --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/"
only:
- master
The above code will push all your recently modified files in your Gitlab repository into public_html folder in your FTP Server root.
Just update the variables HOST, USERNAME and PASSWORD with your FTP Credentials and commit this file to your Gitlab Repository, you are good to go.
Now whenever you make changes in your master branch, Gitlab will automatically push your changes to your remote FTP server.

Got it :)

- git config git-ftp.url "ftp://xx.nl:21/web/new.xxx.nl/public_html"

- git config git-ftp.user "xxxx"
- git ftp init
#- git ftp push -m "Add new content"
only:

Answer 3

try this. There's a CI Lint tool in Gitlab that helps with formatting errors. The linter was showing an error, the additional deploy statement.
deploy:
stage: deploy
only:
- master
script:
- apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq lftp

Answer 4

I use this
deploy:
script:
- apt-get update -qq && apt-get install -y -qq lftp
- lftp -c "set ftp:ssl-allow no; open -u $FTP_USERNAME,$FTP_PASSWORD $FTP_HOST; mirror -v ./ $FTP_DESTINATION --reverse --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/"
environment:
name: production
only:
- master
