Running Commands on Shopify
Hello, I'm trying to use this on my current Shopify Store, but cannot work out how to run commands on there... I'm fairly new to this type of thing and need some help! Thank you
shopify-ftp, as far as I'm aware, is only used to create a local(on your computer) FTP server. Then using an FTP program like Filezilla you connect, using your Shopify site API info, to 127.0.0.1 port 2121, which then displays your Shopify site theme folders. Here is how I use shopify-ftp on my Windows PC:
- Once it's installed I run CMD.exe and type in(without quotes) "shopify ftp"
- It will then display: FTP server listening on 127.0.0.1:2121
- Then I start up Filezilla and connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 2121. Once started it displays my theme folders, which I can navigate and upload or download files.
- When I am done I close Filezilla and the CMD window.
Hi, thank you – that helps.
However, I have come across this error when trying to install on my PC – UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE. The full log is below;

Try running this command before installing shopify-ftp:
npm config set strict-ssl false
Just make sure you set it back to true once shopify-ftp is installed.

Wow, great answer @bxmas13. I would not have known how to answer that (nor do I understand why disabling strict-ssl is necessary to install this module).
Also, I didn't realize people are using this module. I hope it is useful for you. Thanks!
Thank you - however, I've tried that and get the following;
Your environment has been set up for using Node.js 4.4.7 (x64) and npm.

Right... fixed that last issue! However, still getting this error when trying to connect through Filezilla:
Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2121... Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Error: Could not connect to server Status: Waiting to retry... Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2121... Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Error: Could not connect to server
Make sure your username is ###################@your-shopify-site and password is your private API password. The "#####..." is your API key.
Example: http://my-coolsite.myshopify.com Private API Key: 123123123123123123 Private API Pass: 456456456456456456 FTP Host: 127.0.0.1 FTP Port: 2121 FTP username: 123123123123123123@my-coolsite FTP Pass: 456456456456456456
*Note the FTP username doesn't have the .myshopify.com portion.
Sorry for delay in trying this - had a bit of leave! :)
I'm still getting this error, after following your instructions;
Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2121... Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Error: Could not connect to server Status: Waiting to retry... Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2121... Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".

Error: Could not connect to server Status: Waiting to retry... Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2121... Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server". Error: Could not connect to server
Erm... duh... I wasn't using CMD to listen on 127.0.0.1:2121. Did this, now getting this error;
Status: Connecting to 127.0.0.1:2121... Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message... Status: Insecure server, it does not support FTP over TLS. Command: USER ###########@my-site Response: 331 User name okay, need password. Command: PASS ******************************** Response: 530 Not logged in. Error: Critical error: Could not connect to server
Any help would be greatly appreciated... :)
I believe that error is from Shopify. My suggestion would be to double check your username and password in Filezilla to make sure everything is correct. In addition, in Shopify Admin, make sure that your API is setup in the Private Apps section.
For a sanity check your Filezilla FTP entry should look similar to this:
Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 2121 Protocol: FTP - File Transfer Protocol Encryption: Only use plain FTP (insecure) Logon Type: Normal User: fjlk3l23523l5h16lkk13h6l13kh6@my-site <-- Assuming your Shopify URL is my-site.myshopify.com Password: 052f68f88a1b49a02598494f09302e3a <-- That's the API Password
This is what you should see when a proper connection is made:
FTP server listening on 127.0.0.1:2121
FTP connection from 127.0.0.1
