FTP-Publisher Plugin

Be careful of using this one, it has a few bad bugs, and it looks like it's not being maintained (I would, but I lack the time). In particular, if the upload resolves to multiple files, it will put the files in a directory that it creates that has nothing to do with what you specified:

https://hudson.dev.java.net/issues/buglist.cgi?Submit+query=Submit+query&issue_type=DEFECT&component=hudson&subcomponent=ftppublisher&issue_status=NEW&issue_status=STARTED&issue_status=REOPENED&version=current&email1=&emailtype1=exact&emailassigned_to1=1&email2=&emailtype2=exact&emailreporter2=1&issueidtype=include&issue_id=&changedin=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&short_desc=&short_desc_type=fulltext&long_desc=&long_desc_type=fulltext&issue_file_loc=&issue_file_loc_type=fulltext&status_whiteboard=&status_whiteboard_type=fulltext&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=&cmdtype=doit&newqueryname=&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time

Since this plugin was damn slow and somehow confused the paths starting with the second upload, I wrote a batch script for uploading my artifacts via FTP:

The batch job:
echo Uploading artifacts
rem use script and don't use automatic login
ftp -s:"C:\path_to_my_ftp_script.txt" -n

The ftp upload scrip (C:\path_to_my_ftp_script.txt)t:
open 1.23.45.21 2122#
user myusername
mypassword
bin
cd artifact_dir_on_target_ftp_server
put C:\artifactfile.zip
bye

I hope you like it.

I just released an new version for this plugin. It fixes most of the bugs and adds directory support. Also you can specify if you need the path to use a timestamp or to flatten the remote paths.

The new version is 1.0 and is NOT backward compatible so please take some time to fix your plugin/jobs configuration.

Have fun !

Hey, just installed 1.0 and it probably works great when using standard FTP transfer (ports 21 and 20) but I probably have port 20 blocked so I get 0 byte sized uploaded files (without an error, though).

Could you possibly implement an option for PASV transfers?

Console log is as follows:

Connecting to crm-test file:/usr/local/hudson/.hudson/jobs/crm-commons/workspace/
current root dir /jboss423
current root dir /jboss423/deploy/common
transferred 1 files to deploy/common
Transfered 1 files
Finished: SUCCESS

The help description of some fields should be more elaborated. Like:

• Destination: What if it's empty? Does it take the same as the source?
• Timestamp: What is it doing? Copy timestamp from source folder to keep the same timestamp? Only copy files newer, or may files with a different date time?

I am having an issue where if I save two different FTP servers, the individual jobs default to the first FTP server I entered. Any help or tips? Thanks!

What I would really like is the ability to upload to multiple FTP sites from the same job rather than just picking one per job.

Switching to passive mode is easy if you're adventurous enough (plugin recompile). I have only one FTP server so I skipped the part of adding a parameter to the FTP site and just went and edited the createSession method on FTPSite object:
