Website Upload

[Shand359]

Hi again... I have been having another look at the website upload of files... Every time i try it i keep getting this error...

pi@allsky:~/allsky $ scripts/upload.sh --debug /tmp/test.txt IMAGE_DIR test.txt
upload.sh: FTP '/tmp/test.txt' to 'IMAGE_DIR/test.txt', TEMP_NAME=x-5934
*** upload.sh: ERROR, RET=1:
FILE_TO_UPLOAD='/tmp/test.txt'
REMOTE_HOST='153.92.6.39'
REMOTE_DIR='IMAGE_DIR/'
TEMP_NAME='x-5934'
DESTINATION_FILE='test.txt'

257 "/" is the current directory
drwx--x--- 5 u618242068 apache 4096 Dec 6 21:40 .

drwxr-xr-x 3 u618242068 o55211058 4096 Dec 6 21:40 domains
lrwxrwxrwx 1 u618242068 o55211058 55 Dec 6 21:40 public_html -> /domains/onthankshed.online/public_html
---> CWD /IMAGE_DIR
<--- 550 /IMAGE_DIR: No such file or directory
cd: Access failed: 550 /IMAGE_DIR: No such file or directory
cd IMAGE_DIR/ failed!
---> QUIT
<--- 221 Goodbye.

From what i can see, everything is set as it should be....

@Shand359 I suspect your config/ftp-settings.sh file needs work.
You've told the upload.sh command to put the test.txt file in a directory called IMAGE_DIR on the FTP server, but there is no such directory, which is what it's telling you. In --debug mode, the lftp command lists the contents of the folder it's in; in this case, it has itself ("."), its parent (".."), a directory called "domains", and a link called "public_html". Is there an "IMAGE_DIR" directory somewhere underneath "domains" or "public_html"?

The IMAGE_DIR variable in the config/ftp-setting.sh file needs to point to a directory on the FTP server that you created.

Ah ok. I assumed that the value was taken from the IMAGE_DIR value in config file. So if I change values manually to the correct folder names then I should be good to go.

If I’d thought about that a while ago……

Thank you again Eric….

@Shand359 Those names were a bad choice on my part. The config/config.sh name is IMG_DIR whereas in the ftp-settings.sh file it's IMAGE_DIR. Close enough to be confusing. They are use for two totally different purposes.
You want the IMAGE_DIR variable in ftp-settings.sh to point to a directory on your server. I assume you copied the Allsky Website files to the server? Where did you put them? That's where you want IMAGE_DIR to point to.
