Problems with artifact folder structure in vanilla FTP deployment

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up a build for a vanilla HTML site via FTP, for some simple UX staging.
I've disabled build, so that the process just checks out the files and moves straight to the artifacts step.
In the repo, I keep the site source in a 'src' folder, which is the root of the site.
I add src\**\* as an artifact to capture all files in the 'src' folder.
When I try to deploy via FTP, it's attempting to deploy (for example) to ROOT\src\index.html, instead of ROOT\index.html.
Is there a way to tell the FTP deployment to upload files from a certain artifact subpath? Or map the artifacts into another path?
In TeamCity you can do something like src\**\* => **\*.

   First, you should have a single .zip artifact. To upload entire folder as a single zip remove \**\* from artifact path.

   Then use Application field to specify zip artifact name to make AppVeyor "expanding" it before publishing to FTP.

   Let me know how it goes.
