dist-to-sftp

dist-to-ftp is a simple command-line tool that enables you to connect to an SFTP server.

This straightforward tool simplifies the process of deploying your website or data to the desired location on the SFTP server.

Basic Usage:

• Start by setting up your FTP credentials in .env file - this can be skipped, see the options.
• Delete and upload all files to remote path folder.

Beware! the script will indeed remove all existing files and directories on the server remote path. See options to keep them.

Installation

To install dist-to-sftp, you can use npm or yarn:

# Using npm
npm install --save-dev dist-to-sftp
# Using yarn
yarn add -D dist-to-sftp

Usage

Once installed, you can run the tool using the following command:

dist-to-sftp

Setting up env files is just filling up these environment variables. It will check for the presence of a .env file and of these variables inside.

SFTP_HOST=
SFTP_USERNAME=
SFTP_PASSWORD=
SFTP_PATH=
