Hi,

I deploy my application on my Azure server using the FTPS deployment mode.
However, I realize that during the deployment, my old files are still in the destination directory.
My question is, how can I proceed so that before launching my deployment, my destination folder on my server be deleted?

Thanks

   Hello,

   Current FTPS implementation in AppVeyor doesn't support old files removal.

   You can use AppVeyor Deployment Agent which supports full sync.

   If FTPS is the only option to deploy to that server then you can use WinSCP which can do full "sync" of local/remote folders and much more.

   The general algorithm for using WinSCP in a build script:

   deploy_script:
   - cmd: |
       choco install -y winscp
       echo open ftpes://%FTP_USER%:%FTP_PSW%@<your-ftp-server>/ > ftp.txt
       echo put <somefile> / >> ftp.txt
       echo exit >> ftp.txt
       "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\winscp.com" /script=ftp.txt
   

   where FTP_USER and FTP_PSW are secure environment variables defined on either project settings UI or in appveyor.yml.
