git-ftp fatal: Could not get last commit. Network down? Wrong URL? Use 'git ftp init' for the inital push

I use git-ftp and works fine for days, but suddenly went broken(after few hours I upload successfully), and the debug message is:

+ git ftp push -vv --syncroot folder/ --auth $USERNAME --passwd $PASSWORD $URL
Thu Dec  6 13:48:12 UTC 2018: Using syncroot folder/ if exists.

The .git-ftp.log is still in remote, and I didn't change any variables. What's going on?

Solution

  • It turns out that my git ftp command --user has been accidentally replace to --auth, here is the error command:

    git ftp push -vv --syncroot folder/ --auth $USERNAME --passwd $PASSWORD $URL

    After I replace back the string in my git ftp command, all works again, here is the correct command:

    git ftp push -vv --syncroot folder/ --user $USERNAME --passwd $PASSWORD $URL

    But I've read some suggest that ftp is insecure, so I replace my git ftp command to:

    git ftp push -vv --key ~/.ssh/my_ssh_key --syncroot folder/ --user $USERNAME --passwd $PASSWORD sftp://myhost.com/~remote_folder/

    I also change my BitBucket Pipeline YML file to use the latest php base image (php:7) instead of the older one I had originally specified (php:7.1.1)
