FTPError: 553 Can't open that file: No such file or directory

[marcos-queiroz]

Bug Description I'm getting error 553 when updating the repository.

In the first synchronization the action worked perfectly, but when updating any file the second action returns the error.

My Action Config

I experience the same error, please any solution?

[mikedelgaudio]

Same issue, my not-so-ideal solution was to delete the .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json off the FTP server. The downside is uploading everything fresh again.

[aploessl]

If the push to ftp you did prior involved removing files/paths, it seems that the next push to ftp you execute will generate this error. Git seems to require placholders to maintain folder structure, once those placeholders are gone, so are their parent folders so long as they were the only item in it. The script doesn't know how to handle this behavior as it retains the full path info that git automatically removes.

Solution was also to delete .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json, but then it takes almost 6h to upload everything again which is a tad bit too long...

[marcos-queiroz]

Se o push para o ftp que você fez anteriormente envolveu a remoção de arquivos/caminhos, parece que o próximo push para o ftp que você executar gerará esse erro. O Git parece exigir que os placeholders mantenham a estrutura de pastas, uma vez que esses placeholders desaparecem, assim como suas pastas pai, desde que sejam o único item nela. O script não sabe como lidar com esse comportamento, pois retém as informações completas do caminho que o git remove automaticamente.

that seems to be the problem.

If you remove a directory on the host or file this error occurs.

I deleted the entire directory and the new puhs worked fine.

[bolenge]

I did the same and it worked for me too.

[manuelpazprad]

Just change the file permissions of .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json to 744.

by default website files has 644 permissions (no execution). This way you'll avoid uploading all (this happens if you delete that control file as mentioned above).

You can make that change transitory with an automated activity prior to and post-action execution to avoid any security concerns.

[AliSafaei1990]

I had same problem. checkout Action job's log. maybe you deleted some directory or file on server.

[idanavin]

Happened to me as well, though I manually removed folders that are written within the .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json file. My fix was simple, I removed the missing folder from the file data. Maybe a better solution to this will be to catch the error and skip the missing or non-accessible folder like you do for files

A caught file example:

removing "precache-manifest.6849d4d55a08706cec74d7a62498abe8.js"
File not found or you don't have access to the file - skipping...

[bartoszkrawczyk2]

Hi, any update on this? I'm getting the same issue.

[rkritskiy]

same issue.

[JulianGro]

Are you on the newest version? Because for me this was fixed months ago.

[marcos-queiroz]

For me it worked perfectly after updating to the latest version.

Hi,

I got the same error only when I deploy straight to public_html folder in my webhosting. When I put it inside a folder (ie: public_html/mywebsite) there is no problem.

Is there any way or config that allows me to do that.

thank you

I fixed the issue by deleting file .ftp-deploy-sync-state.json , however, be aware that all the files will be resynced again after the push.
