Fw: How do I git-push to an FTP server?

Fw: How do I git-push to an FTP server?

[Konstantin Khomoutov]

On the git-users mailing list we're trying someone to help with
running `git push` over FTP.  That person is runnig Git 1.7.9.5
on Ubuntu 12.04.

Below is the trace captured while trying to perform such a faulty push.
The oddity (in my eyes) is that after uploading the files, Git executes
`git http-push` which manual page does not mention FTP at all.

So I'd like to ask experts on Git transports for any advice in this
situation.

Thanks for the input, Konstantin. Below is the output (with identifying 
info removed). I can't see what caused "Uploading to a URL without a
file name" at the end.

I don't think vanilla git supports pushing over ftp.

There are plugins like https://github.com/resmo/git-ftp tho.

At least according to the documentation[1], "Git natively supports [...] ftp".

This could need some clarification if pushing over ftp is not supported.

The commit 5ce4f4e (Documentation/urls: Rewrite to accomodate
<transport>::<address>, 2010-04-06) that came from

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/145196/focus=145205

was supposed to be just a clarification of the document, but it
added ftp to the list without justification.  Its earlier round is
this

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/143499

and it did not mention ftp; I wonder why we missed this addition
during the review process.

The ftp transport might have worked for fetching in the distant past
for "dumb and slow" commit walking fetches, but it was never
supposed to work with any kind of pushes as far as I know.  I
wouldn't be surprised if the dumb and slow commit walking fetch no
longer works with ftp.

Perhaps the initial list should not be exhaustive, in which case we
could say:

	Git natively supports ssh, git, http, and https protocols.  The
	following syntaxes may be used with them:

	...

	Git also has (less efficient) support for fetching and pushing

Yeah, that, possibly with "These are deprecated; do not use them.",
would be a better way forward.  As we deprecated "rsync" long time
ago, perhaps we should remove it at Git 2.0 or somewhere around
that.

By the way, that old patch by Ram in question was *not* incorrect
per-se back then when dumb http was still more prevalent option
between the two http transports.  Fetching over dumb http and dumb
ftp were both equally bad ;-)  It just has become less relevant as
more people start equating http with the smart http, where there is
no equivalent "smart ftp".

I see.  Will we remove ftp[s] support too?  I hope this is in order.

I don't see why that would be desirable, as long as libcurl continues
to support it for free.

I thought the real rationale was to avoid creating the illusion of
supporting push over ftp.  Having a paper trail to comfort people who
notice when rsync support vanishes is just an added bonus.

I'd suggest dropping ", and will soon be removed." or replacing it
with ". Don't use them." to avoid the question of how soon "soon" is.

With that change and with a clearer commit message, this will probably
be good to go imho.

I think it would be nicer to start with the important info (git
supports ssh, git, http, https) and deal with less important parts
like rsync support later in the document, but this looks like a good
minimal fix.  Thanks for pushing it to completion.

git-ftp's functionality is completely orthogonal to `git push` -- this
script allows to sync a tree referenced by the specified Git commit
with a remote directory accessible via FTP, transferring only
new and modified files and deleting disappeared files and directories.
IOW, git-ftp is a (very handy) Git-powered *deployment* tool, not a
backend for `git push` or something like that.
