Deploy files to ftp using gulp

Introduction:

Here i am going to explain how to move your files to ftp using gulp.

Step 1 :

   Install necessary gulp required files.

Install gulp-util and gulp-ftp

1. var gutil = require('gulp-util');
2. var ftp = require('gulp-ftp');

Step 2: How to install gulp packages:

Go to your command prompt and your Gulp directory

F:\gulpdir\npm install --save gulp-util

F:\gulpdir\npm install --save gulp-ftp

And then add this code to your gulfile.js

1. gulp.task('deploy', function () {
2. 
   
3.     var conn = ftp.create({
4.         host: '192.168.3.5',  // your ftp address
5.         user: 'username',  //Ftp user name
6.         password: 'Password', //Ftp Password
7.         parallel: 10,
8.         log: gutil.log
9.     });
10. 
    
11.     var globs = [
12.         'src/**',    //Your source files
13.         'index.html'
14.     ];
15. 
    
16.     // using base = '.' will transfer everything to /public_html correctly 
17.     // turn off buffering in gulp.src for best performance 
18. 
    
19.     return gulp.src(globs, { base: '.', buffer: false })
20. .pipe(conn.newer('/public_html')) // only upload newer files 
21. .pipe(conn.dest('/public_html'));   //Destination folder
22. 
    
23. });
24. gulp.task('default', function (done) {
25.     runSequence( 'deploy', done);
26. });
