FTP-Deploy-Action NEW FEATURE: Option to never delete when syncing

Hello, Is there any option to choose if I don't want to delete the files from server?

If any file is updated it should update but if any file is missing in repo I don't it to be deleted on server.

Plus one more question that how to exclude but not delete from server.

@AliAyub007 I can look into adding a option to never delete files and instead only upload/edit. This is not possible right now and I have no timeline on when I will add this feature.

@milan-sahana that sounds like another issue. Can you please make a new issue with more information on what your are seeing & recreation steps.

I want this function too. This is a necessary feature for JAMStack architecture that is updated on a basis.

Hi @SamKirkland, is there any update to this feature? Cuz I need it too ^^

I have 2 repositories deployed to one hosting server via FTP. While one app is being deployed to the remote server, it deletes the published folders of the other one.

Hey @SamKirkland,

There is a PR that aims to achieve this functionality and it's still waiting to be approved. https://github.com/SamKirkland/ftp-deploy/pull/20. Afterwards I know that some changes have to be applied to this repository. We can contribute to add this functionality to be able to pass new options to ftp-deploy
