FTP-Deploy-Action FTP Upload Fails Every Time

Bug Description Every time I run the upload it fails in the same place with a connection refused error. The odd part is that it is able to create all the folders and upload 1 file before it fails. So I know the connection works at first. The same file fails every time, a font file. I'm not sure if I am hitting some limit or running into an unsupported filetype? I am able to manually FTP the project from my local machine using the same host and credentials with FileZilla. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also I noticed a typo: "No file exists on the server "/debook-app/.ftp-deploy-sync-state.json" - this much be your first publish! 🎉" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^ Probably should be: "No file exists on the server "/debook-app/.ftp-deploy-sync-state.json" - this must be your first publish! 🎉" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^

🗑️ Removing all files on the server because 'dangerous-clean-slate' was set, this will make the deployment very slow...
----------------------------------------------------------------
No file exists on the server "/debook-app/.ftp-deploy-sync-state.json" - this much be your first publish! 🎉
The first publish will take a while... but once the initial sync is done only differences are published!
If you get this message and its NOT your first publish, something is wrong.

Failed to connect, are you sure your server works via FTP or FTPS? Users sometimes get this error when the server only supports SFTP.

I am still using the same server so i know the issue is not the stiff about FTP or SFTP

@austin-sanga Experiencing the same error when it starts uploading the differences after the sync calculation—gets randomly stuck on uploading files. I tried setting a longer timeout for FTP operations of 10 minutes, but it simply fails the job after those 10 minutes anyway, as you can see per the timestamps:

In this instance, it uploaded all the files to the remote web server up until logo/blue.png. It only created a logo/blue.png file of 0 bytes in total, after which the job failed. logo/blue.png was not the last file to be uploaded.

When I tried to rerun the failed jobs—it worked... And it's been working since, I am not able to reproduce this issue anymore.

@austin-sanga I don't understand. Could you please explain how to solve the problem I'm deploying to a shared hosting server

Mar 27 '24 09:03 DevHolako

Pretty sure this has to do with a passive vs active FTP connection for the original question. I don't think there is an option in the action to choose the mode. Check with your host if both are supported.
