Hi guys --
I have a server without https and so I'm trying to establish if I can host a
repository there using ftp. The manuals suggest that I can, but when I try:
>git push -v ftp://user:pw@host//u/path/repos/test/.git/
Pushing to ftp://user:pw@host//u/path/repos/test/.git/
fatal: unable to access 'ftp://host//u/path/repos/test/.git/': RETR response:
550
Looking at it with wireshark, I can see the SIZE and the RETR of
.../test/.git/info/refs reports the file does not exist, which is correct and,
as far as I can see, normal(?), but that the RETR failure terminates the push:
<image deleted>
Have I made an error in the setup of my repos, or some other foolish mistake?
Best wishes,
i
...

Which manuals?
IIUC, a dumb HTTP(S) server that accepts only GET can still serve
"git fetch", and an FTP(s) server would be able to do the same using
similar codepath, but I do not think these can accept "git push". A
dumb HTTP(S) may be able to accept "git push" if it does WebDAV, but
I do not think there is corresponding FTP support at all.
