bug: files are not uploaded in case content is big

[webcat12345]

Bug Description I tried to use this action for small projects like react.js and others and it's working well. But if I try with PHP legacy codebase, because it is legacy, we need to upload vendor folder to the server. Once we upload vendor the first time, I added vendor folder to exclude the list. Expectation was upload success without any issue, but only folders are uploaded and they are just empty.

My Action Config

# Controls when the action will run. Triggers the workflow on push or pull request

My Action Log

Action result is success - exit code 0. No logs here.

In my experience the server times out because it's first creating all the directories, which doesn't keep the connection open. My logs expired but I think I got a 421 Timeout (900 seconds). One possible solution would be to sort the upload queue by uploading the containing files immediately after a directory has been created.

Same here, using it on a Codeigniter project and it always fails because it takes a lot of time for it to create the folders.

This should be fixed in the latest v4 version
