.ftpignore doesn't work when I ignore folder

[GNXB]

[remote-ftp version: 1.1.3 on Atom 1.20.0 x64 OS X El Capitan] I has a large folder size on the remote machine and I want to prevent downloading it to my working machine. But when I perform Right-Click on remote-ftp panel at the root folder and click "Download" or "Sync Local <- Remote", then it performs downloading all of files and folders also "The Large One" to my machine.

Now I can done is Manually download each sub folder (Right Click -> Download several times)

Here is my .ftpignore file. Does I config it correctly? Thank you.

Same here on Linux. .ftpignore is (ironically) ignored.

I have issues with every folder and .ftpignore itself, they all get uploaded to the server.

Sad to see this bug ignored for a Month now.. Ignoring a folder shouldn't be that difficult to implement. I dont want to sync the whole node_modules folder everytime.. For everyone with the same problem i can recommend remote-sync, ignoring works for folders and files and watching works for files. Although im still waiting for the feature to set wildcards for watching, but as im aware they're working on it. oh and its a bit faster than remote-ftp

If it is not difficult for you, next time we wait for your pull request.

It works for all downloads. https://github.com/icetee/remote-ftp/commit/344d3af7c153fec78745d1d5ce2a8d769355e611

Upload soon ...

@icetee how is this an enchanement? it's a straight up bug. folders (and files within them) are getting uploaded while they are in the .ftpignore, so the ftpignore doesn't work for folders, it's a bug.

[icetee]

Unfinished development. The original issue was only downloaded.

@icetee but it's also the other way around, whenever I upload index.js (by CMD + S), the node_modules/ folder get's uploaded from local to remote, while in .ftpignore it contains node_modules/

[icetee]

@kevzdev After you've typed it into the .ftpignore file, disconnected?

[pixelliquid]

Issue still persists. Can't ignore folders. My .ftpignore:

.ftpconfig
.ftpignore
id_rsa
.DS_Store
.git
*/node_modules
sample*

The .git folder is still being synced, as well as the node_modules folder. All files in the root with sample in their names are rightly ignored. Perhaps it is a typo on my behalf. The path of the node_module folder is site/themes/theme/node_modules.

[ghost]

@icetee yes, I've disconnected after. Issue still persists. @PeterEmil I have the exact same problem.

I ran into the same issue using version 1.2.3 and 2.1.0. You can work around the issue by restarting atom any time you change the .ftpignore file; since it's set to load on start.

I created a PR to address this issue: https://github.com/icetee/remote-ftp/pull/1076/

[FranklinYu]

Even restart doesn't work for me. I'm on Windows, if it matters.

[rustyforeal]

any updates on this?

[wendyliga]

waiting , how to add a single file on .ftpignore? just type the filename with extension ?

[emoruzzi]

The original issue was for .ftpignore not working on macOS; what version of windows are you having the issue on?

[wendyliga]

Oh thats was the reason , i use mac

[emoruzzi]

@wendyliga The remote-ftp package uses the npm ignore package; which is similar to how a gitignore file would work. https://github.com/icetee/remote-ftp#how-to-use-ftpignore

You can find more information about how to use the ignore file at https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore

[FranklinYu]

@emoruzzi Is this supposed to be a mac-only issue? I’m experiencing same issue on Windows 10.

[Balloota]

also have the same issue... it messed up stuff that shouldn't be changed on the remote :(

[TomS-]

I'm also having this issue on Mac, even .ftpignore file is being uploaded, however it does show greyed out in the remote file tree.

[michael-lo]

Same here, Windows 10. It doesn't matter what I write into the .ftpignore file, it's syncing everything, even itself. Files, folders, everything. It just straight up does not work.

[eagl3s1ght]

Could it be user permission problem? Mine worked after running Atom as Administrator.

[michael-lo]

Not likely, I always run Atom with sudo.

06/11/2018 Still not fixed. :/

[eugenelet]

Is this issue fixed yet? It's really bad for my SSD to download large files from remote server.

[JRudransh]

How to prevent specific file upload using ftp ignore. It uploading my all scss files also.

[JRudransh]

Still Not Fixed??

[koehlersimon]

In my case it works now, after a restart on MacOS

[DuchSuvaa]

same here, like the ignore file didnt exist at all

[rossmaidment]

Also experiencing this problem (using Atom v1.53 and remote-ftp v2.2.4) on MacOS. All local files, including .ftpconfig and those specified in .ftpignore are uploaded to remote server. This didn't happen in previous versions. I've reinstalled Atom/remote-ftp and restarted my Mac, but it's still not working. Any suggestions welcome.

[moerphie]

Same issue here for a while. I'm using Atom v1.60.0 and remote-ftp v2.2.4 (macOS).
