Mirror: Not connected - When i try my ftp deploy pipeline

Hi there,

I newest in pipelines.
I test to try deploying my code in my hosting server via ftp but i have a problem.

I have this:

deploy:
stage: deploy
only:
    - master
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 --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/"

And the job says:

...
Unpacking lftp (4.6.0-1+deb8u1) ...
Setting up lftp (4.6.0-1+deb8u1) ...
$ lftp -c "set ftp:ssl-allow no; open -u $USERNAME,$PASSWORD $HOST; mirror -Rnev --ignore-time --parallel=10 --
exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/"
mirror: Not connected
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

What do I do wrong?

thx!

Hi @svinesh3691 @kontakt

Works for me!
My hosting its on namecheap.

Try this in your “.gitlab-ci.yml” file:
deploy:
stage: deploy
only:
- master
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 --ignore-time --parallel=10 --exclude-glob .git* --exclude .git/”

$USERNAME, $PASSWORD and $HOST it has to be created on:

• Access to your git project repository
• Settings --> CI / CD
• Environment variables
• Add this variables without dollar simbol ($) and set the value
  – > Save!

GL!
Enjoy!

@altesh,
I have done all this…It worked till yesterday but today I just slightly changes variables names to add new envs and it stops working. Crazy. I think the runner is not parsing my new variable!?

For anyone finding this page in the future, make sure that your environment variables are not “protected,” or if they are that they are only being used in a protected branch. This was the problem for my team.

This has worked for me, thanks!
