git-ftp fatal：无法获得最后一次提交。 网络不通？ 错误的网址？ 使用“git ftp init”进行初始推送

Question

I use git-ftp and works fine for days, but suddenly went broken(after few hours I upload successfully), and the debug message is:

+ git ftp push -vv --syncroot folder/ --auth $USERNAME --passwd $PASSWORD $URL
Thu Dec  6 13:48:12 UTC 2018: Using syncroot folder/ if exists.
Thu Dec  6 13:48:12 UTC 2018: Host is 'myhost.com'.

The.git-ftp.log is still in remote, and I didn't change any variables. What's going on?

Answer 1

It turns out that my git ftp command --user has been accidentally replace to --auth , here is the error command:

git ftp push -vv --syncroot folder/ --auth $USERNAME --passwd $PASSWORD $URL

After I replace back the string in my git ftp command, all works again, here is the correct command:

git ftp push -vv --syncroot folder/ --user $USERNAME --passwd $PASSWORD $URL

But I've read some suggest that ftp is insecure, so I replace my git ftp command to:

git ftp push -vv --key ~/.ssh/my_ssh_key --syncroot folder/ --user $USERNAME --passwd $PASSWORD sftp://myhost.com/~remote_folder/

I also change my BitBucket Pipeline YML file to use the latest php base image (php:7) instead of the older one I had originally specified (php:7.1.1)

Answer 2

For those who are using gitlab pipeline and directadmin as cpanel alternative.

Sometimes, it might be because of ftp directory issue. If you are using directadmin , it might change ftp directory time to time. I really don't know why directadmin does that. But once you go to FTP Account section and see directory path for the user you are using in gitlab setting, you might see the directory is not correct.

Confirm FTP directory path. This helped me fix my problem. Hope this will help someone else.
