Error: Can't create directory: File exists when remotepath is "/" #146

bliteknight · 2018-03-23T13:42:54Z

Expected Behavior

File should be uploaded to the remote location

Actual Behavior

Throws an error: Error: Can't create directory: File exists

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Create a chrooted account for the ftp user so it's "/" = "/usr/test/" (e.g)
Setup sft.json to connect to ftp server using the account.
Create and save a file in the root directory and try to up load it.

Requisites (important to diagnose the problem!)

I've known the problem. Please wait for the fix.

Awesome, let me know if I can help in any way.

liximomo · 2018-03-23T15:33:13Z

@bliteknight I've made a fix-package . Please help me test it.

bliteknight · 2018-03-24T11:29:07Z

Just installed it and it works. Thanks for the fix.

I think the fix to this issue has created another issue. My remotePath is set to "/" because my ftp points to the root of my test site directory. Anything that attempts to gets published to the root receives the following error: "[sftp] Directoryname not valid". Anything that publishes to a subfolder in the root publishes fine.

liximomo · 2018-03-27T16:10:13Z

@alireainc Can you create a new issue with detail info?

lucasbordeau · 2018-04-02T12:28:28Z

Same problem here, I removed and reinstalled the package 2 days ago, nothing changes, and if I get this error no files at all are uploaded.

My setup is exactly the same as @alireainc

I get this error every time I try to upload now :

[sftp] Directoryname not valid

Here is the FTP server log (FileZilla on a Windows Server) :

I'm getting what seems to be the same error there.

Works when uploading a file that's not at the root of the workspace but throws this error when the file to upload is.
