Bug

Since today I have problems using git ftp. It worked perfectly fine for few years, and I did not do any changes in my system configuration (OS X, 13.4.1 (c))

I'm getting "curl: (18) server did not report OK, got 450" errors (on some files, not on all), and it creates (or overrides) the files with 0 bytes.
Also, if I try to upload the whole git repo (not only two files like in the example commit below), I'm getting the following error and it aborts:
curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

I tried:

  • different ftp servers from different providers
  • downgrading curl
  • reinstalling git-ftp + curl + openssl
  • different repos
  • new repo
  • different connection

% git ftp push --verbose

    I have tested different url configurations and none of them have worked

    url = 10.6.68.215/
    url = ftp://10.6.68.215:21

    They worked before :(

    and fileZilla server accepts the connection but does not upload the files.

    I have the same error, using verbost command -vv I found out the file that error occured was the one with space on its name, PHP Charting Libraries.txt . since it's not really important file I'd just removed from my source. But how about if it's really important one, how could I force git-ftp to upload the file ?

    Looks like this function needs to be updated to encode the url and it will work:

    upload_file_buffered() {
	local SRC_FILE="$1"
	local DEST_FILE="${SRC_FILE#$SYNCROOT}"
	#local ENC_DEST_FILE="${DEST_FILE//#/%23}"

	# URL encode the DEST_FILE
	local ENC_DEST_FILE=$(urlencode "$DEST_FILE")
	
	echo "-T \"./$SRC_FILE\"
url = \"$REMOTE_BASE_URL/${REMOTE_PATH}${ENC_DEST_FILE}\"" >> "$TMP_CURL_UPLOAD_FILE"
}

    TLDR solution: Some file names contained spaces.

    I had the same issue even with the latest version at this time (1.6.0).
    To find the file, I copied the list of file names logged by git FTP.
    A quick search on VS Code for the space and voilà.
