Does GIT support push to an ftp server? [duplicate]

Answer 1

No, Git does not support a push to an FTP server, only clone and fetch. This was previously answered.

But there are several tools to upload your code to an FTP server that work with Git.

• Git-ftp - A shell script that uploads your current commit. It stores the last uploaded commit id and uploads only changed files.
• ezyang/git-ftp - A python script that uploads commits as well. It comes with a post-receive hook to deploy from a bare repository. But the last commit is more than three years old.
• PHPloy - A php script that also uploads only changed files by storing the commit id.
• Grunt-git-ftp - A Grunt script that uploads only changed files as well.

Answer 2

I don't know if this will work or not, but one thing to look at is .netrc support.

I know on windows, some people here put their HTTP login credentials in a netrc file so they don't have to specify it on the git command. Perhaps FTP can work similarly?

I'm on OSX, and that file sits in my home directory. I don't know where it goes on windows.

Answer 3

In your other question, you seem to be using user@host in your FTP URL.

The docs don't mention user@ as being supported.

Answer 4

I think you should use ftp-git, it's a GUI tool to push changed files in git repository to ftp server.

You can check the changed files in GUI way, and it can save your ftp connection details for future use.
