Git : how to deploy website directly to FTP server using bitbucket pipeline

Deploy website directly to FTP server using bitbucket pipeline.

Bitbucket pipeline: In this blog, we will see how we can upload the complete site from our bitbucket account to our FTP server directly using bitbucket pipeline, before starting let me tell what are the prerequisites. you need a simple website, an FTP server, a bitbucket account.

let us suppose that you have a website that is over to bitbucket.  here are the steps to upload the website from bitbucket to FTP server using bitbucket pipeline.

Step 1:

open bitbucket and select your project, and then open pipelines for your project to enable it.

Step 2.

Now select the programming language template of your website, and after selecting it you will see a  bitbucket-pipelines.yml file, with a sample of code in it. replace the code with the below code:

image: samueldebruyn/debian-git

pipelines:
default:
– step:
script:
– apt-get update
– apt-get -qq install git-ftp
– git ftp init–user $FTP_USERNAME –passwd $FTP_PASSWORD ftp://ftp.xyz.com/public_html

Step 3.

Now declare your variables FTP_USERNAME and FTP_PASSWORD. Go to settings>Environment variable and place up the variables.

Step 5:

Now go to pipelines and commit and execute the file. and your files will be deployed to your server.

Step 6:

After the successful execution of the pipeline please make sure to change the syntax in the pipeline from “init” to “push” as now our code is initialized and now we will have to just push the code.

so the complete new .yml syntax will be :

image: samueldebruyn/debian-git

pipelines:
default:
– step:
script:
– apt-get update
– apt-get -qq install git-ftp
– git ftp push –user $FTP_USERNAME –passwd $FTP_PASSWORD ftp://ftp.xyz.net/public_html

So we have uploaded our first website to FTP using bitbucket pipeline. Let us know your query by comment below. If you liked the article share it to help others.
